Readings #1

After reading the System Aesthetics article it finally gave me a clearer sense of understanding the concept of system art. The process is more focused on than the actual process and not the end result. Comparing this to like actual art and myself as the process I go through when making a piece, I always focus on the actual outcome and not the process. Artist are always under pressured to make a great piece and the outcome has to be phenomenal and no one ever worries about the process except probably the actual artist. Its pretty cool that art can be made with the focus more on the actual process instead of the end result.. I've learned a bit about System Art but I didn't know that it has been around so long, taking art history classes, you would think that they would mention these type of things.. After reading the definitions of these words in the sense of systems it makes you kind of look at these words differently and actually makes you look a lot of other things differently. System theory gave me a better understanding of the function of the system as a whole.
