Experience Cutting Across Medium

Installation art is experiential, right, the experience of being in/within the work, as opposed to viewing the work? The work, however, are still viewed (the phone and computer on the desk next to the stapler and tape dispenser are viewed) and can be dissected down to its elements. Each viewing offers a different experience, sometimes within a close continuum and sometimes more broadly ranging.

The best drawing pulls in the viewer, holds the wall, and strives to be experienced immersively. Sclupture holds the space (the spot and air and context where its installed) but can dominate the room/landscape to varying degrees, offering different experiences.

Degree of scale moderates the experience of a piece or set of pieces. One large piece like the mountain overwhelms. A lot of smaller pieces on a wall can be like votive candles or a series of windows or marks in themselves accumulating to the larger experience of a composition on the wall. A bruise. A scar. A tattoo. A mask. An adornment. A combination of some or all of these.

Endpoint Variance

It's Friday,the first one of the New Year, the start of the year and the end of the week (work week).

Which has me thinking about horizons, beginnings and end points.

The lines of symbols below in the making extended as close to an equidistant end point as each line would go, as one line of symbol text across the blogger entry panel. While reaching close to the same end point in the making, in preview end point variance was wider and in publication, the lines run over to the next row. The output lacks the design character of the input, which appear as a single wide bar.
