Four and No Waves

What is at stake today is the achievement of a realism so complex that it displaces reality.

Defined by transformation and formlessness, a wave is the simplest symbol of the abstraction technology propagates. A drawing machine moves erratically; a sculpture flattens then becomes dimensional as you move around it; a drawing is rendered over the course of an exhibition, gradually becoming 1000 times more complex. These works exist in a transitional state between motion and stasis, realism and abstraction, nature and technology
