areyoutechnologicalready?
As a number of strands within the project come towards some form of conclusion I've been thinking about technology readiness levels in
science and how it may or may not relate to the world of art. There are a
number of issues to consider, namely around intention, the object's relationship
to an audience and the concept of 'finishedness'. TR1 might be all about thinking and collecting
ideas, sometimes these are revelations but they mainly come about through hard
work. Evidence of this would be found in the note or sketchbook. TR2 is more
thinking and an agreement in your mind with the 'inner you' that it's okay to
work on it, is it a valid activity to engage in further? TR3 Could be focused on telling other people
about your idea and discussing possibilities of the subject within the context
of other people's practice and the art world as a whole. TR4 Material testing in
the studio of the various elements or parts of a piece, this is alongside the
notion of developing an individual practice.TR5 A whole artwork is now created,
elements of how each part functions with other elements or pieces of the work is
tested and it is determined a success. This is based on a set of conscious or subconscious
notions or criteria depending on how you work as an artist. TR6 First piece is made,
this could be the end of the process but if an artist wants to connect with an
audience or further develop their practice more work is to be made. TR7 could
be where a body of work is created based on an initial idea or research path. TR8
This makes me think about the role of the exhibition, the work is now out there
in the world and engaging with a public speaking for itself. TR9 is a practice,
a continuum of the whole process which enables an individual to make the next
piece of work.
