What is material? How does our thinking and behavior change when we perceive something as a material rather than an object or singular entity?
Any object can become a “material” through multiplication and quantity. Simple repetition implies endlessness, even when the surface we see is finite. This can radically change how we perceive an object. New patterns emerge in the repetition and previously unnoticed details begin to catch our eye. Notice, too, how our sense of scale becomes warped when confronted with repetition. Repetition is also the basis for practice, for muscle memory and the ability to do something fluently: that is, for craft.
The repeating patterns in this space have been created with photos taken in and around the South campus of ArtCenter College of Design #SpoliaLounge @artcenteredu
