It's really interesting to see this applied to art. For so long there was a focus on one realistic art style in Western culture that was supposed to be made without collaboration, in reality it was a collaborative effort to keep on art style. However now people are drawing off of so many different stylizations and developing new ones from it.

It's interesting because when I was a kid I was always shown invention as Albert Einstein sitting alone in a room. But he drew on so many other peoples work to come up with what he did.

Interesting associations can be created this way. For example the act of doing a specific movement can trigger specific memory. It is interesting it see the juxtaposition of what is currently going on during that movement, and what was happening in the memory triggered by that action.

In reading and writing what the body is doing has to be explained to get the full meaning whereas in video you are simultaneously processing the movement and dialogue without having to waste time reading out. So in theory video is more productive in getting the point across in many situations. I'm not necessarily saying it is better though, to be honest I am not sure how I feel about that.

This reminds me of sites like TikTok, the entire idea of a duet is a series of juxtapositions.

I never thought of it this way before I always assumed new idead just came to me. But when I really think about it, when I enter Chora, something must trigger my new idea. Often times I will have an idea of what I want to do, but it is not until I have that aha moment that I can truly make it unique, and this aha moment must be the space between two juxtaposed ideas that I reach in Chora.
