I have to disagree with Davis when she excludes the conversation of drugs. This is extremely narrow-minded and makes me think of how technology moves us a way from nature. Rather than inviting technology to simulate a poorly rendered forest, I would rather go eat some mushrooms and go to the actual forest.
However, our work does relate in the idea of loss of humanity through technology. This is the work intersects. Davis directly explores it through the bodies experience with the machine. My work is left open to a much boarder audience.

Recombinant Theater and Digital Resistance
Recombinant Theater and Digital Resistance
The redefining of a space is what interested me the most about the article. A gesture or offering of free beer changes the way in which we interact with the environment. Is media based work the best way to interact with an audience?
Or could it be the exact opposite. The way we receive information on the day to day becomes numbing. If we use similar ways to communicate would we be adopting the ideas that surround us already. If so is that enough? If it is then who's the audience?

Intermedia
Intermedia for me makes me think about graffiti and advertising. They not not separate and almost close to the same. They cannot exist with out each other it becomes about the ideas needed to support each other.
No matter what class or media used to make there is always separation. This will always exist. The intermedia is the combination of taking from everything to recontextualize something new. When all these elements we have combined to create a new is when intermedia works at it's best. The example is the Intermedia Chart Higgins presents on page 50.
Although with all these things overlapping do we start to lose the purity of some of these forms of art?
