=====material in processes, material as processes=====
* what are the core aspects of artistic processes considering the material aspect?
* can start and end points be made visible/readable/perceptible in any form? are there start and end points?
* what is the "inbetween" of material? are these the processes or different states?

=====taxonomies=====
* what are relevant categorizations? what kind of taxonomy is sensible or practical?
** are descriptions in an archive/collection enough?
** what kind of digital, tactile, linguistic tools can be combined or are necessary for a diverse approach?

* what kind of observations and experimentations are possible in respect to time, process, change?
