PARAPRAXIS

project : PARAPRAXIS

type : PRINTS ON GLASS
client : BLINDSPOT INITIATIVE

DESCRIPTION:

PARAPRAXIS is a conceptual geometry study exploring the relationships between perception + mathematically driven computational geometry + human interference. It sets to destroy and mutate a rigid computationally driven geometric system to create a series of Rorschach studies.

The glass was chosen as a way to represent the 3Dimensionality of the pieces.

30 Layered RSR Piece is made up of 30 pieces of glass each containing a specific “layer” of the sequence. While the spacing between each glass piece is consistent, each layer does not contain the same amount of information. The 3Dimensional geometric model was cut into slices, 65 of them to be exact. While there were only 30 pieces of glass, each layer did not contain an exact amount of slices. Depending on which areas required more transparency vs color density or opacity, layers were combined to create the desired effect. The “moment” as we described it was that specific moment in time where this piece was captured as it was exploding from the inside out on a computer simulation. The idea was to capture this almost like it was frozen in a glass cube, highlighting all of its volumetric qualities and color gradients and indexing that moment in time.

Thank you to Makenzie Murphy for her help & for putting up with me through this, also to J6 CREATIVE & NRT GRAPHICS for the amazing work
