Participatory Action Vs. Remixing Vs. Relational Aesthetics

The past three themes in class that we are learning about all tie together. It seems as though they though they all are relevant to the practice of “living art” which is mentioned in Bourriaud’s article. I found it interesting how he points out that art, such as Flash Mobs, tightens of the space of relations because the people are not images seen through a medium that one can misinterpret. The art you are creating is directly in someone’s face or space. There is heavy participation in this practice from groups being formed to all the activity done. This art form has been done for reasons of protest, and reasons of fun yet everyone follows guidelines. Guidelines can raise questions of is this art more organized than because you do follow set rules over something more sporadic? Is art orderly and disorderly?
