My goal here for the ontology project is not only to clarify the many
fuzzy issues regarding the knowledge structure of media arts, but to
work toward a system of networked micro-ontologies (micro, meaning
domain specific ontologies). The network in itself transforms the
micro-ontology system into a macro-ontology which essentially would be
a compehensive knowledge map. Making ontologies immersive, either
graphically or textually (OM: Ontology MOO) would in effect transform
the 'map' into an inhabited knowledge system - while the system grows
and shrinks from day to day, and year to year - insert the time lapse
photography here :). (01)
I am interested in the aesthetics of the dynamic knowledge structure
itself, and the pragmatic or discourse aspect of media arts. An
Ontology of Media for example, will hopefully emerge here as a very
interesting discourse node (rather, I know it exists; I would just like
to find it, or focus it). I am interested in the technology which will
visualize and maintain the massive object oriented system. The
organization of the onotology net should 'emerge' rather than be
categorically manipulated. That is why I am interested in
micro-ontologies and bottom-up design methods (rather than the upper
ontology projects). The upper ontologies should result from the
application of different types of algorithms applied to the network for
some given purpose. (02)
