Merging the idea of having a "set" but without pulling together resources to create one. Site-specific performances also usually connect directly to the space they are held in, and the two serve each other.

Big emphasis on things being passed down and carrying significance through generations.

I saw somebody explaining recently how there is a right way to visit Hawaii and it is to interact with the community and learn about the culture.

In my opinion, dance feels different when there is a connection/comprehension of how the music was created.

Interesting how literature and art can intersect, and improving skills or comprehension in literature can teach you about art.

A performance law? I'm a little confused as to what this means but it sounds super interesting.

Although they don't have vision, they have been brought into a world that prioritizes human vision many times, so they are as used to that way of life as anybody else.

This is why I've always been told we're not allowed to touch art at museums.

It's interesting how their form of observation tells a story.

At museums, art can be interpreted in so many different ways, but it is usually engaged with in the same way, where you can just stand in front of it.

When you see something, even when you focus on something specific you can see the rest in your peripheral, When you touch something, for me at least, once my hands aren't on it, I don't know how to map out or create that memory in my head, so I can only focus on what I'm focusing on at that moment

we don't have words for so many things that exist today

I would totally do that and I think the author knows that it is a curiosity many people have, and would be a success.

It's like a translation

It's gaining access to experiencing a sense that is usually not catered to in museums- but to access it another sense has to be impaired.

It seems fascinating to discover how a piece of art is layed out/created through touching it.

Interesting that as a blind person they were still more familiar with visual art than most people are growing up.

It's not about the experience of touching artwork, it's about equal access

I think the differences in drug usage also comes down to societal and political factors. We all know the statistics of people using at similar rates and being criminalized for them at much different rates. Drugs in particular seem so hard to find concrete data on because there are cultural stereotypes and expectations in place.

I really think this is dependent on what the unified experience is, I think finding relatability in our experiences can be extremely valuable. Especially thinking about our conversation about the pandemic today, and how that experience has universally caused us all to look inwards and grow as individuals, while we were all having the same experience of isolation.

This quote really made me think about the role phones play in our lives. If we had been satisfied with the older models of phones and learned to live in harmony with those, where we all used them for the same purpose, maybe they wouldn't take up so much of our lives. The constant advancements in our phones has meant that there's always more to do, and more to see, and they can't be in the background because then we may miss out on something, or become "out of touch".

This is making me think about what we read today in class, and how we often overlook the importance of observation and patience. It is something we are taught is useless, and being slow is often seen as a weakness.

This makes me think of Klara and the Sun and the questions we talked about in those discussions, is it actually possible to recreate a human experience? Can sight specifically be perfectly copied by any forms of technology?

Interesting to bring up television here because television is something that has enabled people to see new parts of the world, and explore different circumstances and stories through observation.

As reading this, I've been questioning if it is possible to have something ongoing 24/7. My first thought was human life, breathing etc. but I realize now that no human, and potentially nothing that we're aware of can outlive 24/7. Maybe there is no such thing as that kind of permanence.

Are there any examples of something that can be ongoing 24/7?

This sticks out to me because 24/7 is an ongoing amount of time, infinite yet still limited to 7 days. It also demonstrates human error because a day on earth is not actually 24 hours, so the numbers we use are not technically correct.
