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.''
