Art as becoming

'That artworks are not being but a process of becoming…Their continuity is demanded technologically by the particular elements. They are in need of continuity and capable of it by virtue of their incompleteness…It is as a result of their own constitution that they go over into their other, find continuance in it, want to be extinguished in it, and in their demise determine what follows them.' (Adorno, 2004 p.232)
