From Object to Field
“A field condition could be any formal or spatial matrix capable of unifying diverse elements while respecting the identity of each.” From one to many, the connection in between has loose boundaries, yet complex.
Geometric vs. Algebraic Combination
“Independent elements combined additively to form and indeterminate whole.” The repetition of pattern arrangement and proportions collide to produce the unexpected.
Walking Out of Cubism
” And yet if minimalism represents a significant overturning of prewar compositional principles, it remains indebted to certain essentializing models in its reductive formal language and use of materials.” The idea of style changed over time and the control over material shifted.
Thick 2D: moires mats
“Unexpected effects, exhibiting complex and apparently irregular behaviors result from the combination of element that are in and of themselves repetitive and regular.” The relationship between figure and ground effects the field.
Flocks, schools, swarms, crowds
The different conditions in the idea of gathering, each has its characteriastic.
