ABSTRACT
Chapter 12, “Regenerative Motion,” focuses on correlated time-based media, an emerging form that at the time of this writing remains at an experimental stage. Correlation of time-based media consists of bringing together video or sequenced-image, sound, and text that are accessed via a network, such as the Internet. The result is a mashup that likely will be different each time it is experienced. Correlated time-based media is informed by principles of the regenerative remix, which is specific to the time of networks, and is defined by constant updates of the sources being mashed up. Networked media in general is defined by the optimization and on-the-fly manipulation of content available on databases; and as video, sound, and text are constantly experienced in multiple contexts, the possibility to develop work that is unique or specific to the time and place of access can be explored in terms of art and media design. The aim of this chapter, then, is to consider the creative potential of correlated time-based media that is unique to the moment of access.
