Centripetal compositional elements: Analysis by Dexter Deacon

As mentioned in our previous bulletin, our chief ecotechnologist Dr Dexter Deacon here presents some of his views on the technical elements of the Free Plants World Vices exhibition. Dexter holds a Phd in Naturalesque rotational geometry from the non-linear department of interspecies anthropology, Berkley California and is a leading Authority in this area.


The Dr D.Deacon Analysis.

Greetings friends, thank you for taking the time to explore with me this wonderful, if crude example of rudimentary ecotechnology. I am honoured to share with you in a technical interpretation of this simple arrangement of elements, so precariously displayed within the confining yet atmospheric walls of the artificially induced space of the installation. I must not also omit to thank the conceptual modernist team for allowing me the opportunity to develop this analysis of the ecotechnological elements of the installation. While it was my original intention to proceed with a diagrammatic display of the meanings, both latent and explicit -within the installation, I have decided to rely on some of the wonderful photographic images.

In the third photograph we can see the clustering of objects which make up the arrangement. The world corresponds to a roughly central placement within this composition and is elevated by a "Pastoral table" the three moulded eggs- slipped, cracked and upside down  respectively, form a triad which draws the eye to the herd of carbonate cows toward the rear of the space. The light is ambient depending on the time of day and a large screen or filter mediates the atmosphere from the outside. If we look back at the photographic image of the pastoral table with the screen directly behind it we can see that this also forms a composition, where the darker central panel  corresponds to the table and the lighter areas of the screen correspond to the eggs, placed on the floor. It is clearly some sort of visual metaphor at work, the eggs themselves appearing to have taken the light from the screen, this is of course their suggested function within the inferred ecotechnological paradigm we are proceeding from.

Dexter  Deacon returns with the second part of his facenating exploration of our installation in our next bulletin.
