A Note on Found Structure There is this long history of word salads, cutups, umbrellas on dissection tables, but the arrangements of pieces has historically been concerned with the random or the surreal: this is a different exploration. What I'm advocating is using the structure consciously, with attention to the boundaries of the practice, so that you can say, "the arrangement of fragments will be according to their own internal direction and logic, like an algorithm, equation, or application," which is an attractive quantity accepted by contemporary practice, or you can say, "the arrangement of the fragments will be deliberate, manmade; according to me." (This includes more baroque functions - old technologies such as hair gardens, dressage, 3 act structures.) But I wanted to experiment with the combination. The Relation Papers is driven by the internal logic of the scientific documents: in some places the text is not even altered from the original experiment ,and we can see the same results. I meant to translate the experiment into a new form while preserving its structure. Decked out like this the meaning of the experiment in its hypertext version becomes improvisational, even dynamic, but the intent was also to keep within the what it is of the thing so that it remains a formal exercise. I wanted to take the existing framework and push on it fitfully, using fiction, memory, and impulse, and to augment it with fever dreams and fear. Spring 2002
