Thomas Davis · Bournemouth University Research Online (Bournemouth University) · 2009

This paper explores notions of complexity and ecology through a shared environment of interaction through a presentation of the sound installation Cross-Pollination.It discusses music based on algorithmic processes and the growing trend of an ecological thinking in composition.It draws similarities between this and a conception of aesthetics based on a negotiation of meaning between a viewer and the object of art, drawing attention to the aesthetics of the real and its relationship to complexity.
