ray langenbach : gesture, stutter, state


Constellating the term performance are a complex group of synonyms: execute, accomplish, achieve, effect, fulfill, discharge, render, as well as connotations of evaluating one's functioning, in the sense of rating a machine's performance, or the performance of the market or a performance review of the employees in business or troops in the field (AHD).

Performance is devilishly difficult to define, in part because it dissolves almost immediately into causes, appearances and effects. Performance is what happens on the way to a discernible change in the scape, be it a mentalscape, a landscape, a technoscape.
