Strange Attractor Factor beyond Performance Art in a Time – Based Media Context

Abstract: The article proposes the study of ‘performance art’ or ‘action art’ as a live act of associative composition within a time-space experience in the frame of time-based media art. Moreover, the samples used to analyse the factors involved are summarized as an experience with or in front of an audience. A new factor called ‘strange attractor factor’ will be added to the model Effect/ Affect published in 2012 by Valenzuela to understand the action’s meaning in the frame of performance art. Even more, today the model updates these concepts or parameters in the field of post media by understanding performance as a Time-based media. The ‘strange attractor factor’ could give an explanation about how attention is lost or even how awareness of the multiple variables is lessened where time-space is altered by unexpected and unplanned actions. Those variables rather than what the audience anticipates or the creator had planned, could take control and change the aim of actions. As a basis to critique performance this article uses models from semiotics, linguistics, mathematical grammar, rhizomatic model, aesthetics, architecture, performance studies and paint analysis. Added to those chosen lenses that observe and build critique, specific information is applied into this update with the aim of making a better understanding of what the strange attractor is and where it comes from. This article adds some possible critical uses of ‘fake equations’ presented in this paper in which the components assembled could make possible a different ‘reading’ of the live art and could help understand the idea of ‘time-space experience’ as one observable-detectable phenomena as well. Briefly explained by graphics and reflections, the study and the components are then applied to one concrete example in order to get some answers and final reflections about the use of the ‘Strange Attractor Factor’
