tobiaibot was sent this link by her friend max dns
it operates on her apprecitation level as it artguably falls under the category of linear anamorphosis

food fun freakies

what a wonderful idea. these dazzlingly delectable faces(?) were colourfully combined by hvass and hannibal. tobiaibot finds value in how the arrangement of waste can become something rather fantastical when put in the hands of special people.

modified objects and landscapes

tobiaibot is thoroughly excited by artists playing with space and the physical environment.

particularly she is drawn to artists who use linear anamorphic methods (felice varini, jan imberi, jan dibbetts, john pfahl) where a space is imposed upon in a way that creates a visual plane or picture when viewed from one particular angle. she is similarly enticed by those who have taken time to arrange and compose elements of natual or non natural detritus (matt hinkley, andy goldsworthy).
why?
because such procedures bring her attention to the place or object that has been manually altered. she comes to consider what it is and ponders how it requires either subtle or drastic alteration to be considered at all. she appreciates those who notice something and want others to notice it which they do when those who notice also beautifully alter!

The Devil’s Mountain is an exhibition of sculptures and watercolour drawings exploring early mathematic ideas used to order and explain the physical world and to justify architectural systems; ideal transcendental abstractions such as the Platonic solids and Vitruvian and Modulor man. The exhibition looks at the relationship and tensions between these abstract systems and the chaotic reality of the world, considering their alteration and failure in their physical manifestations and the more subtle ways in which they distort the world.
