A couple of interesting articles:

What is ‘Indeterminacy’? by Marguerite Caruana Galizia

Keywords (Categories and Tags)

New to the world of blogging I have written a list of words that appear frequently on the first two pages I have created for my blog.

They are (in no particular order):

framing, juxtaposition, movement, performance, installation, film, extraordinary (and by implication its opposite, ordinary), functional, everyday, choreography, video, landscape

Might these be my keywords?  My categories and tags?
