Temp Ex Checklist pt1

There are a few more Temporary Expert checklist items that I will have to come back to in separate posts, but I wanted to get some of the fundamentals up now.

Goals:
• Know more about the history of events scores
• Investigate a potential theory of creation for event scores
• Highlight links between event scores and computer programming/creative coding/tech art
• Provide a new context for event scores in the creative technologist community
• Help other creative technologists create art within this context

Questions:
• What is a practice theory for creating event scores?
• How can this process be used in a 21st century context in regards to technology? (If it should at all?)
• Can using this process in current tech art practices bring a more personal, human, and soulful perspective to art practices?

Identify precedents:
• Dada, Surrealists, Situationists
• Exquisite Corpse
• Happenings (not sure the timing of this, might have developed alongside event scores)

Analogies:
An orchestra score, source code for a program, pattern for clothing, cooking recipes, a play script (kind of hard to make analogies… because these could also literally be event scores)
