[[liveness]]
or [[play]]Aliveness will not be defined inside this structure, but you can keep a [[meta]] observation on the choices you make since the situation is being [[constructed in the moment]] thanks to you being alive and interacting with the otherwise dead structure.
historically the word live has had this meaning since:
[[forever]]
[[late 19th century]]that something can happen here and now has always existed, but the need to define this situation as live was invented around the time of the first recording and was for instance later used when [[broadcast]]ing radio.
because of the:
technical [[recording]]
[[the radio]]what is live when listening to a recording?
[[the person listening]]
the [[recording]] procedurethe word live was needed to define the difference between transmitting:
a live-[[broadcast]]
a [[recording]][[liveness]] can describe what happens in you when you are listeningOn the Radio the transmitted sound can be very similar, but the word live is used to define that what you hear happens now:
the situation is being [[constructed in the moment]]Traditionally [[liveness]] happens between people that are in the same room. The encoding and decoding of information happening simultaneously. Through technology, beginning with [[the radio]] this original meaning has been put into [[play]]. since it's difficult to understand through a radio that the situation is being [[constructed in the moment]] online media often mimic live events aesthetics due to the liveness effects that traditionally occurs when the situation is being [[constructed in the moment]]Meta (from the Greek preposition and prefix meta- (μετά-) meaning "after", or "beyond". Meta- is often used to mean about (its own category). In games the communication between players that is not inside the game can be seen as a metadiscussion or a meta-game. Being inside and outside of a moment could be described as metacognition. An added Meta-level can put [[liveness]] into [[play]] if you want to.
liveness is the quality of:
[[being alive]]
[[being live]]
[[something appearing live (though it's not)]]play with [[memory]]
play with [[space]]Retrace the foot steps and the actions of what you did before you sat by the computer. If you want to limt the time, put a timer on 5 minutes and go back as far as you get. At the point you decide, or when the timer rings, return to the computer and click [[here]]place yourself under the table, bring your computer if you can. When you've found an ok position [[continue]].
Is this before or after you left your computer? Can you add a layer to the situation [[constructed in the moment]]? can you be both where you were and under the table at the same time? Picture the two of you having a situation [[constructed in the moment]].
