HYBRIDS

HYBRID idea can encompass appropriation, nostalgia,
. . . into systems . . .
hybrids are important in relation to systems . . .

. . . mongrels, biology, systems, subcultures, . . .

Can link through to my idea about the extending process.

Having thought about yesteday's entry I realised that 'appropriation' was far too broad, and that a lot of what fits that umbrella term isn't what interests me anyway. I enjoyed Saville's work [again!?], and the Twin Peaks piece, but didn't find I got much out of Scher's or Kalman's for example.

I'm especially interested in what Poyner calls the "third idea" created by Saville's examples. I thought about this more and realised it related pretty much directly to something that had come up in my notes a couple of weeks back, Hybrids.

I think I see a way of tying the methodology to the core topic [the idea about extending process] in a more coherent way through the idea of hybrids, and the the relation to systems . . .

. . . mongrels, biology, systems, subcultures, . . .
