The Conditional Design reading expresses that conditional designers see the process of a work as the final goal. The focus of the work is not the end result but instead the teamwork and collaboration of artists following a set of rules. The rules are what, to me, distinguishes conditional design from other forms of artistic creation. This is because even when I have worked with another artist to create a work, I have never had a set of rules to follow. Before reading, I have never seen art as something that can be created while following rules. But the work of the conditional designers shows that the process of following rules in a collaborative setting can be just as expressive and hold just as much meaning as any work of art. However, this point of view is not shared by the artist that is discussed in the text. According to Frize, “process painting does not exist; or rather: Every good painting shows the seamless transition from process to product” (p.1) Here we once again see the originality of conditional design. In art, what is most often shown is the final piece. Thumbnails and sketches are hidden pieces to the final puzzle that is shown to the public. However, with conditional design, the work is empowered by its unique way of working. The work of the conditional designers is presented beside its set of rules, but the average painting in a museum is not shown next to its original sketches or its measurements. I have always approached my work in the same way as Frize, with the understanding that the process is important, but only if it helps to make a seamless transition into the final product. I was taught in school that the painting is only as good as it’s sketch so I have always appreciated the process of creating artwork, but not in the same way as the conditional designers. This has an impact on my work because instead of embracing the process of the work, I, like Frize, attempt to hide it. If I were to hold a conditional design attempt, I would have the paper be folded into small squares and within a group of four or five people, the paper would be passed around and folded so that no one can see the work of the person before them. Each person would be allowed two colors and could make at most 5 lines. All of the lines should go over the corners of the square to give the next person a starting point. My thought process is wondering what happens when people work collaboratively on a piece that they cannot fully see. I think this would create a very interesting result as everyone has a very different imagination and by making it so no one can see anyone else’s work, it allows people to fully work in their own bubble, while still being collaborative.
