What's all this about? Example: Wake up in the morning, put on your Convergence T-Shirt and check this feedin your news reader for what performance, you'll be doing today! At the local mall you see someone go by wearing a Convergence T-Shirt. Take a look at your PDA to see what they might be up to. Explanation: The information outside of a work of art, such as the artist statement, title, etc... can change the meaning of the piece. In the case of a document outlining how to create a certain work of art, the infomation can change the piece itself. Much of my free art available on-line comes with a certificate of authenticity, or process document. These reference my site for information. If I change the information about these pieces on my web site, the work's meaning changes. In the case of a process document the piece itself could change. This week I am creating a history of these pieces' informational changes. I have also created a separate category (or web log) that just lists these changes. Now, one can use the RSS feed of that category to track changes to the artwork. 11:10:16 PM
