Class Discussion: Co-Creators
In class we discussed how the artist is the creator who
makes the artifact which in turn becomes the co-creator. The audience then
views the artifact and act as spectators and co-creators. How are they
co-creators? For example, a comedian changes sets based on audience reaction. Performers
tap into the audience to influence both pieces and themselves. The way a
spectator views something can give it added meaning through interpretation. The
artifact itself can take on a life of its own by becoming a co-creator. It has
an effect on both artist and audience. The symbolic action or art creates the
second world which supersedes the primary world.
