ECO, UMBERTO

Eco: certain works require completion by the reader and are designed for that openness. The GAI is the maximal open work. Every visitor completes a different archive by the order in which they read it. There is no privileged path. The artist supplies the elements; the institution supplies the binder; the reader supplies the sequence. Volume I §3.4.2 (Authorlessness) is Eco's principle moved from text to institution.
