inter-media collaboration February 25, 2006 1:00 PM Subscribe
Artists in every media, I'm thinking about the creative process, generating ideas for inter-media (is there such a word?) collaboration, and where abstract art originates.
I'm thinking about eating lunch. Also, whether to go see "Shopgirl' this evening at the Laurelhurst Theater.

I don't think she has given voice to a question yet, furtive.

Maybe this is the abstract art.

Behold and lo, verily unto thee I do craft this response. Full of wit, fleeting in to the ether go I! Avast and ahoy! Truly tis' art. And yet what it is not, no one knows.

what is up with these weird metatalk posts? I know these people can read or they wouldn't be able to type their questions (statements?). Odd.

I find it amusing to pretend that superficial social interactions are 'performance art'.

dersins, come down to the 5:30 screening of Harry Potter at the Bagdad. You can meet my parents.
Finally.

Hi Julia, I'm not sure what you're after here. MetaTalk is pretty much for talking about things that are MetaFilter related. If you're looking at getting together with other MeFites, you have to be a bit more explicit, and "gatherings" in this context applies much more to real life. If you have a question you should head over to Ask Metafilter [link at the top of the page] and ask it there, but be sure to read the guidelines before posting.

The creative gestalt can be triggered by the simple jusxtaposition of unfamiliar or unusual items, people, places or sensations.
For example, I just took a not insignificant amount of acid, and am currently happily sitting naked in a bathtub filled to overflowing with terribly dangerous poison arrow tree frogs. The danger and thrill is palpable. I'm literally quaking in luscious terror. The amount of adrenalin coursing through my system right now could drop an elephant. I can see each vein in the back of my hand pulsing with the force of it.
As a result of this intentional cross-juxtaposition and self-inflicted psychic terror I've come up with a novel idea for an art installation involving pinhole photography, jello and powerful electric shocks delivered to the audience by means of cybernetically enhanced live squid. You could look for deeper meanings like "the artist is trying to express the amorphous terror the natural world feels in the presence of man and giving it a defensive voice" but you'd be dead wrong. I just like shocking people.

No, that's the aesthetic fallacy of intent. It's exactly what I think it is. I don't care what you think.
Oh, hell, I don't really believe that malarky.

You know dersins, Shopgirl is also playing at The Mission this week so really you have two (three?) choices now.

This thread is awesome.
JuliaGill, if this is meant to be a question for AskMe, there are some things you should know:
Without a more specific question being asked (I mean, VERY MUCH more specific) then asking people to just sort of chat about the origins of abstract art is considered ChatFilter and will likely be deleted. You can check the AskMe guidelines and MetaFilter wiki about what constitutes chatfilter. generally, it's just stuff with no concrete answer possible, like polling for opinions.
Also, your salutation should read "Artists of every medium:"
Also, intermedia is a word, but it's definitions do not include what you're talking about. What you're talking about is sometimes called "Integrated Arts" sometimes called "Multimedia" and sometimes called "Avant Garde," depending on who you ask and how much wanking is going on. There are likely other terms for it as well. I suspect people would know what you were talking about if you simply said "collaborations in multiple media."

Intermedia collaboration, right. Like music and moving pictures together? HA! It will never happen!

If she's the Julia Gill who was born around 1856, no wonder she's posting a little weirdly. And Louisiana... she's probably still freaked out by Katrina. Cut her some slack. She'll be 150 this year!

I'm thinking about art and the Artists, where generating inter-media collaboration for abstract media orginates ideas (is there such a word?) in every creative process.

I think two hours is enough time to get some clarification on this. I'll close it and wait for its reappearance on AskMe.
