I was invited to participate in The 3rd Australian Biennale of Reductive Art staged at the University of Technology, Sydney over December 2023-January 2024. In Ochromosonico (Sean Lowry, Mark Titmarsh, Gary Warner) I created a new site-specific visuals track for a soundscape created by Sean and Mark. Errorland<\/em> was presented as part of a video art compendium screened on a panoramic video screen facing onto Sydney’s busy Broadway Road.<\/p>\n

I created a Sierpi\u0144ski radiation constructed from aluminium equilateral triangles hand-cut from craft beer tins for the Biennale’s gallery exhibition. The surface of each triangle was hand-marked in two registers – with sandpaper to create a swirling overall chaos of reflective micro-inscription, and with a matte white Posca paint pen to delineate a further (imperfect) iteration of the equilateral ideal.\u00a0 <\/span>Inevitably, each triangle is slightly different from its neighbours. The aggregate form of this site-specific assemblage establishes and explores various perceptual oscillations –\u00a0 <\/span>the immaterial mathematical ideal and its material approximation; occupied and negative space; reflection and absorption; abstraction and figuration.<\/p>\n

Wac\u0142aw Sierpi\u0144ski (1882-1969) was a prolific, influential Polish mathematician and number theorist. This work utilises the Sierpi\u0144ski gasket, a reductively simple yet confounding complex fractal form named for him, though it was present in various cultures before his mathematical description.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<\/p>\n
