The Always Middle / EZE, 2024

Which end of the workflow is art?

Is it the beginning, the middle, and/or the end?

But art is generally thought of as the end of the workflow, i.e., the product.

Yet art is always about forming.

Hand by Doing / Doing by Hand

Forming is often giving a start and/or giving an end, but forming might just as well be the always middle.

How well are we able to formulate the always middle?

We usually formulate the middle as the end:

Being Formed / Informed Being


Another Take

When Not Finding Formulas or When the Default is Art: 

Asemic Writing versus the Motto of the OEIS: "If You Can't Solve It, Make Art".

Dialectic


A gap does not constitute a dialectic. 

A gap tends to overwork the dialectical process, causing dialectic to fail, when the linking action (often, logic) is somehow insufficient. 

A gap tends to make a process partial, especially a dialectical process, which, in turn, makes the completion of said process non-immediate.

A gap often leads to misdirection and/or an unsatisfactory sense of connection.
