Validity

[radigan]

Today was a good year for an art show. I'm quite happy with how this culture event proceeded, as it represented the culmination of a year's work for "the three amigos", D. Constantino Salazar, Philipo Woollamm, and Ivan Langosiris (names may not be spelt precisely as shown). Being the fabricators that they are, the art-objects these friends

mathematically...

Thanks.

Logically, validity is any argument where the premises are all true, the conclusion is also true. Using this definition, any argument that has a true single premise is valid. Regardless of it's construction.

But is any interaction valid? Since the interactions are the premises and the validity of these actions is the conclusion, not all interactions can be valid. As it would be easy to show that having two contradictory reactions would be invalid.

What I'm trying to say is that being valid has little to do with validation.

Given how the discussion began, this seems to have more to do with social norms than validity.

Sorry I didn't get in touch with you Re: this show, ended up falling asleep at about 7pmish - but I do hope to get down and see it.

In the meantime, should I expect to see any photos in Ian's facebook profile (or your own)?

I think if we're talking about a specific art piece (ian's head banging sculpture) than I belive that it would be valid to interact with the on/off component. There is usually a defined limit to interaction outlined by the artist so that the work won't be damaged. Social skills are a must when viewing art in a gallery.
What about public sculpture?

my stance on the validity of interaction with an artwork is fairly straight forward.

if the on / off switch is facing me, or is easilly accessable, i interpret that as a sign the artist wants me to interact with the peice. If the switch is hidden on the back, i assume i am not supposed to interact, and dont touch it. sometimes, if there is a button that is easy to access, but there is a goldfish and a blender, my system falls apart and i rely on a coin toss
