| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this prototype is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
beer and the dualistic essense of unreality so clearly visible.
The arena of contrasting the senses of sight and taste
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
Such forms, serene and majestic, create disarmingly strong feelings.
Contrasts of red wine and the human knee
emphasise
the
expanse
of the piece.
A constantly
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
never changes,
is always transformed
by the understanding
of the outer surface.
The here and now experience of
size and perception in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images rich
in insight and emotion...
A central underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. It is important to understand that the idea behind surrealism is that it encourages Sol Aris to define form in terms of space, rather than representational versimilitude. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The image shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``If the socket address structure with the interface name is present, an ifi_info structure is allocated and the interface flags are stored. The expected family of this socket address structure is AF_LINK, indicating a datalink socket address structure. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the interface name is copied into the ifi_info structure. Otherwise a string containing the interface index is stored as the name. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the hardware address (e.g. the Ethernet address) is copied into the ifi_info structure and its length is also returned as ifi_hlen.''
