| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of the drawing is that it is the sensuality of extinction.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
Such forms, both serene and tranquil, create a strong interaction of forces.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
strongly
twisted
rapidly
floating
components
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the sculpture
is
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and smell
dominate
the
expanse
of this work.
``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]
