- when it comes to aesthetics, constraints in art/design have a very long generative relationship (especially in more vernacular contexts)
-- TODO: brief history/highlights (dušan?)
- - re: constraint as an aesthetic category :
- (NOTE via dusan+aymeric : We don't want to appropriate/esthetise/tokenize poverty, yet we want to create an incentive to stop being so wasteful and exploitative.)
- - ideological constraints (working under oppressive regimes) :
- - unofficial artists during normalization (1970s) in Czechoslovakia and elsewhere resorting from public space and galleries to nature and private apartments and media such as concept, action/performance and land (art)

- - early computer artists in the late 1960s/early 70s working out algos for plotters without screens (e.g. Vera Molnar: “In the early days, computing was a blind process. Artist gave instructions using punch cards but wouldn’t see the results of their program for hours or even days.” [warning: heavy site: ] https://www.holo.mg/dossiers/vera-molnar-weaving-variations/ )
- - arte povera in Italy from late 1960s : "The movement born in open polemic with traditional art, whose techniques and supports it rejects in order to resort, precisely, to "poor" materials such as earth, wood, iron, rags, plastic, and industrial waste, .... Another characteristic of the work of the artists of the movement is the use of the form of the installation, as the site of the relationship between the work and the environment, and that of the performative "action."

- - (could reference Slöjd here without going into the new concepts) - use available small trees and branches to make furniture, spoons, toys, etc.
