Readings
Laurel
The Laurel reading talked about computer programming and interaction, and how they were a form of performance. I don't really agree with this. I feel as if Laurel uses too broad a definition for performance, which allows for this claim to be made. Laurel also oversimplifies the ideas of programming. If programmers were actors, why then wouldn't you also consider actors to include writers, painters, or even athletes? The argument seems like a bit of a stretch..
Phelan
Phelan discusses the validity of performance in still art in the narrative of the observers. With all due respect to Phelan, this concept is a stretch. While some pieces of still art may inspire greater conversation than others, simply inspiring conversation is not enough to validate performance. If I were to have a conversation with a peer about chocolate, chocolate wouldn't become a performance. The concept is ridiculous.
Progress
So far I have adjust and implemented my flight script for the broomstick and made significant progress in the snitch move script.
