"The composer of music is in a position to effectively initiate, in the system composed, an algorithm analogous to the algorithm the composer would like to see initiated in the system which contains the composer. The task of aesthetics, be it the composer's or the listener's, is to determine, speculatively, whether the analogy implies, at least structurally, events of contemporary relevance in the system called environment; whether the composer was motivated by a vision of what would be desirable processes in that person's contemporary society. It is not of primary importance for aesthetics whether everybody or even anybody agrees on the desirability of the processes implied by a work of art. This is rather the subject of political considerations. Political considerations, however, all too often remain without tangible substance because the contemporary significance of individual acts and decisions is ignored and thus never properly evaluated. Any research of an aesthetic nature that fails to discover what, at a given time is believed to be true and real, and what at the same time, is desired to be or to become true and real instead, fails to give food to political considerations and thus, simply, fails." -Herbert Brün & Mark Enslin
