Locative Art

@_bjeezy94

While searching the term “locative art” on Wikipedia, I found that it was vaguer. It was like giving me straight forward answers. I noticed why professors don’t usually like Wikipedia. I guess it was true about people changing things on Wikipedia, to give false information. I used Wikipedia first being that you type “locative art” and it is the first website that pops up. Another link that popped up was http://mypage.siu.edu/derek/locative/ , it also had straight forward answers, as well as examples of locative art. The last source that I used was our very own World Cat, WSU’s library database. I found it that the difference between this search engine and the first two links that I looked upon was that world cat provided books with information on locative art, newspapers, magazines, and even PDFs. It’s amazing on how different these search engines could run. Rating these sites, I would have to say World Cat, the link that I found, and then Wikipedia. I feel that Wikipedia is being used more often though being that we expect Google to pay upfront and pronto. The most important thing to learn though is that Wikipedia has no reliable sources. Who would have known that a GPS was a locative art? Or at least a type of locative art. Wikipedia gave a bunch of topics to read on locative art. MyPage gave a bunch of resources, and World Cat basically gave you facts with references.
