THE TOPIC?

I had a talk to someone today who asked what my topic was . . . I mumbled about a bit and came out with something like this . . .

It's about the idea of extending the design process - beyond the artefact, perhaps? The idea that a designer can/might consider the work as 'ongoing', as it enters into different environments and audiences . . . so different copies of the same artefact might become quite different 'pieces' via this extension of process.

My methodology might involve various forms of appropriation ñ parody, pastiche, plagarism, and quotation . . . to develop artefacts that can test the central idea about process.

Actually this sounds divergent again! I thought when discussing this I'd connected it somehow, but I'm not convinced anymore . . .

still might log this anyhow.
