It’s indicated that improvisation regards music as information. But what is not information? 

Seems like the conversation didn’t ever give a clear definition of improvisation, music or digital community. As I understand, it broadens the concept of improvisation to human experience, and reaction to digital development. It actually makes more sense to me if we use the word “reaction” to describe this ubiquitous improvisation. We live in and react to the massive information world, and therefore “[improvisation is] about navigating an informational landscape.” 

Therefore, as I understand, music, as a kind of information and human activity (’s product), reacts to the digital environment and society. That makes sense because when we are coding lively, we travel between countless possibilities and land on things we like. So I think the visual creation stands at a similar position as well. 

I also wonder how we can feel the digital community in life. Also, other than people, are tools and media used in human actions also included in the digital community? As they said, the digital community is about this sense of networks. Apart from live performances, we as a class form a community. The forums and reference of tidal cycles or hydra can be communities. These community exchanges are large in quantity. For live sessions, whether people know each other or not, the exchange of information might have more intensity because there is hyper-engagement of multiple senses. I agree that the live moment brings people back to the recognition that music is human action, and it’s human action in the digital world.
