AUGMENTED STUDIES
about the series
Peter Ablinger, "Kreis", drawing 1997
All pieces within the series 'Augmented Studies' may be seen as a continuation of my exploration into redundancy. Most of the series (though not all) takes, as its starting point, the redundancy of maximally simple material, or, carry on the redundancy/rigour of method/algorithm as a structural vehicle to finally arrive at its opposite - density and complexity. True to all pieces in the series, however, seems to be the intent of focus - the tension between redundancy of material and complexity of experience.
