"For art to function, collaboration is necessary. It takes the participation of the viewer and the audience to make a piece of art exist. It is understood that art cannot exist on its own, it has no meaning in isolation but to collaborate on making a piece of art can mean a number of things. As authorship extends to those that make, think, and perceive, the range of possible involvement is extended."
From catalogue essay, 'Something out of nothing' (Sacha Craddock 1999)
