The Florida Research Ensemble (Ulmer, Revelle, Freeman and Tilson)
is an interdisciplinary collaborative arts and research group
developing choragraphy, a method of inquiry which applies modernist
arts practices and poststructural theory to the design and testing
of image as category. The authors argue that image categories
functions for networked digital media the way Aristotle's word
categories functioned for literate concepts. "Chora" was retrieved
for contemporary philosophy by Jacques Derrida, in the context of
his deconstruction of Western metaphysics. Grounded in grammatology
(the history and theory of writing), Derrida's critique of Being
and Becoming as primary concepts of reality is that the category or
classification system invented within literacy is not adequate for
the apparatus of electracy that has developed since the industrial
revolution. The FRE project in Miami designed and tested a
prototype for a choral category, capable of coordinating real
places, cultural collective information, digital technologies, and
personal experience. Miami Virtue tested choragraphy as a method
for adopting a particular region (the Miami River), including
primary discourses organizing its lifeworld, and articulating it as
a category of thought. The designed and recorded virtual site
functions for electracy the way concepts function for literacy: as
a navigable set supporting holistic intelligence and public
discourse.
