| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this piece,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
celebration.
A constantly
changing
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes unrecognizably altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
strength
undulate towards the centre of the prototype,
suggesting
unreliability.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations.
An interesting aspect of the work is that it is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which in this way
float free.
Contrasts of lager and rolling sand
dominate
the
emptiness
of the picture.
The subtly
stretched
downward
soaring
components
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
transformed.
A notable feature of the carving is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``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.''
