ANALYSIS 2 :: DURING THE EXPERIMENT
During the experiment I found myself thinking of the lecture I'd seen John F. Simon give earlier in the year, in which he focused on the notion that the design of exceptions that operate in the running of an algorithm can be understood as a creative design process like any other, i.e. writing or painting or any generative art practice. One of the things I found interesting about this was the notion that creating functionality in a programming language means making individual statements that get more and more particular, that as you make exceptions to the rules your code becomes more specific. I suppose it is the concept of parameter generalization in which the creative portion of an activity involves the choices that you make in varying the running of the loop.
During the experiment our team did in fact come into contact with the ocean as a dead end and so we had the opportunity to throw the paper airplanes. I liked exercising the paperairplane function: it was fun, though fleeting.
