Shape of Space:
In reading the Shape of Space, I could not help but draw a very interesting correlation between the overall theme of the article which to me was about understanding how a illusion is created by our brain using different types of sensory input in and to one of my favorite Rodchenko’s works, which is Hanging Spatial Construction No.11.
The connection that I came across between the concentric elements in Rodchenko’s Construction No.11 and the Nearness Diagram of the skin sensors was the fact that these concentric elements as well as the skin sensors were part of a much large r organized structure designed to perform a series of tasks or functions.
While in Rodchenko’s art piece it can be said that the concentric elements we re in place to hold the structure together, can not the same be said for the skin sensors, are they not there to keep our psychical forms in place?. It amazes me that if you really think about it, almost every physical object is made out of smaller parts that serve a specific task or function. When these smaller objects work in unison, they become part of a much more organized and cohesive structure…either a art form or a physical body.
