from a continual process of entanglement of
agencies."
Theorizing, a form of experimenting, is about being in touch. What keeps theories
alive and lively is being responsible and responsive to the worlds patternings and
murmurings.”

In looking at constellations, I found that one of the most intrinsic parts is the way each point (stellar/object/being) relates to the others in the structure. And that of course this relationship is in constant flux, determined by physical placement of us and the orbit of stars. Therefore, the supposed named constellation is slowly changing its identity at a rate we cannot see in our lifetime.
In the constellating of objects or beings, the relativity or way of relating from one to another is exactly what brings the group to life, and is not static.
“Interactivity liberates us from the hundred years of solitudeof twentieth-century
art. Interactive art makes the realization flash up that there is actually no “I”.No
one is an island: you are produced by others just as much as you produce them. You
are created by objects as much as you create them. Since interaction means
changing eachother, and only that which interacts with us is alive for us, we are
changing everything around us as much as we are being changed by it. [....] You can
be critical of it, comment on it, and form opinions about it, but that is not what
interactive art is after. Interactive art addresses the situation itself, tries to grasp it at
the moment it is taking place, presentationally, as consciously lived experience,
instead of in the language of yesterday or the day after tomorrow.”
