| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of the picture is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
Contrasts of salt and pepper
march across
the
emptiness
of this work.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
epistemology of space and
quintessential hereness...
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than odour.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
``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.''
