Abstract
In response to Erik Rietveld's text "The affordances of art for making technologies," this commentary probes art's affordances for what Rietveld calls behavioral "changeability." I ask, how can a view of art's affordances help to better understand collective and relational affects and habitual behaviors? Can artworks help to "radically change the affordances available in our surroundings," to generate collective social action and behavioral change?
