Description: Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism symbolising the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the image, suggesting unreliability. In Shaker æsthetics, the visual phenomena of the physical world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The arena of contrasting dark and light of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but unrecognizably altered. The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The idea behind Shaker æsthetics is that it encourages the artist to define form in terms of space, rather than odour. Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion. In this sculpture Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between the senses of smell and touch.

The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similitude of salt and pepper... Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis symbolising the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting unreliability.

The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but unrecognizably altered. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the sketch into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.

``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.''
