MDPE.22:7 - Consequences

Positive consequences:

  • projects stop confusing an artwork, class, tool, event, platform trace, or archive with the practice they were meant to support;
  • general Systems Engineering and management Methods receive a clear Music-or-Dance purpose and success observation;
  • hidden provider, venue, instrument, access, recognition, and recurring-Work dependencies become actionable;
  • infrastructure changes can be compared by practitioner result rather than organizational prestige or output count;
  • local experiments can improve a practice without claiming control of cultural evolution; and
  • evidence of failure supports a useful stop or a better-targeted next intervention when one is warranted.

Costs and limits:

  • environment changes often require several independent Agents and authorities;
  • observations relevant to the practice can arrive later than the technical or organizational change;
  • observation can require performer, audience, teacher, organizer, or source-community participation;
  • a bounded intervention can move burden, reduce diversity, or create new dependence; and
  • the wider culture can ignore, transform, or reverse the project’s result.
