| Description: |
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
world of dark and light
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
not completely abstract.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the carving into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
A notable feature of this image is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
A notable feature of this particular image is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
dark and light...
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
expanse
of this image.
``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.''
