| Description: |
An interesting aspect of the sketch is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
This picture is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting light and shade
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create disarmingly strong feelings.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a parody of
misery.
``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.''
[Richard Stevens, Unix Network Programming]
