Pretentious Yet Pointless
Sol Aris has not supplied the colour pallette of this image.
The artist avoids traditional proportions to define the colours, which can by this means float free. The artist avoids a limited canvas to shape the colours, which thus stand alone. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. This drawing is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the here and now experience of size and perception where the essential identity to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations. The artist avoids a limited canvas to shape the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own doing.
``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.''
