With the synthetic apps MOI and Blender, I stitch together archeological fragments of form. These tectonic building parts re-constitute, synthesizing some parts architecture, some parts sculpture — crossover constructions I think of as Art-itectures. These synthetic three-dimensional new bodies manifest a fourth dimensional “full life” in videos charged with light, shadow, movement and original music.
CITIZENS COLLECTIVE is Art-itecture. It features 17 volumetric abstractions; some architectural abstractions, some personas I call Model Citizens. Interconnected, they form a wall with two openings and a portal. Model Citizens represent the core of what are the keys to a healthy society; that we all contribute to the health of our communities, care for each other, respect our differences, and have love in our hearts, not hate. It sits on a mound. To ancient humans, the mound housed the sacred. Walking through the portal sliced through the mound, connects us with our ancient origins and the beginnings of organized society. In raw concrete (Béton brut) and painted aluminum, it’s conceived in the architecture movement, Brutalism.
