The
idea that we don't actually touch anything, that we have to think about what we
mean by touch has been in my head today. One of the main ideas I have
encountered within the residency is that at a nano level our world is concerned
with, in fact defined by forces. If we think about making sense of the world in
this way, of defining our relationship between things within the context of
forces it is mind altering. The 'space between', the 'negative space' is
something that I have been working with but my thinking has been concerned with
trying to map the space within an articulated object which can be changed. I've
been considering this concept at a smaller structural level - this video is
really helpful to gain an understanding of close packed structures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsnNbuqxGTk I've been thinking about this idea within
the context of electron microscopy and in turn I have been making links with the
idea of the 'empty space' between atoms within material. Although not actually
empty - as it appears to be about flow, the constant exchange of forces,
plasmonics. Which links back to the initial
structures I've made - could the functionality of the structures, with their specific
movements, determined by their structure, be a way of looking at the mapping of
this flow?
