Artwork details:
Title: Steady State intervention
Dimensions: 140 x 90 cm (framed)
Medium: Charcoal on paper
Steady State Intervention is an exploration into the variable syntheses between artist, environment and technology. He has utilised virtual representations of spatial and temporal capabilities as subject matter for a tangible drawing. Through the use of complex digital modeling, rendering and physics computation, Simon freezes single moments in simulated space and duration before being extrapolated into an intricate charcoal rendering.
The work’s motif is of an observation tower in the moments of devastation due to a simulated natural force, revealing a fragmented depiction of motion in digital space as it disperses into the static.
