Krueger’s conjecture, that response is the medium through which meaning can be conveyed is excellent. Certainly his works strip everything away but the interaction, masterfully pointing the experiencer of the piece toward his focus. This reminded me of the pragmatist theory; that one would strip everything away from architecture and so build the diagram of the building as a result to most clearly communicate what the architecture was about. I could see response becoming part of the pragmatist movement; especially in the way Krueger concerts. The response of the medium, space, could communicate the diagram, or the concept. In fact, I’ll argue that response has to communicate the conception; otherwise why is something responding?

This interactivity and response relates to the idea of feedback-which Krueger even acknowledges. The user facilitates a response, then reacts to that response thus facilitating another response. The system becomes a cybernetic feedback loop through which ever changing effects are produced and responded to.
