The RSVP Cycles: Creative Processes in the Human Environment"This book started as an exploration of "scores" and the interrelationships between scoring in the various fields of art. Scores are symbolisations of processes which extend over time. The most familiar kind of "score" is a musical one, but I have extended this meaning to include "scores" in all fields of human endeavour. Even a grocery list or a calendar, for example, are scores. I have been interested in the idea of scoring - not any one particular system of scoring, but scoring generally - for many years... to describe and evoke processes on other than a simply random basis... I saw scores as a way of describing all such processes in all the arts, of making process visible and thereby designing with process through scores." -- p.1. |
