livechatter: 00:25:06
Earlier, I learned that the function of things is what they perform.
livechatter: 00:25:10
So, if you don't mind, I'd prefer to discuss function in terms of performance. I submit the following questions:
livechatter: 00:25:12
For example, how does Digital_Live_Art *perform* its functions? How does feminism perform?
