<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhen looking at \u00a0Ron Resch\u2019s Work there is noticeable coexistence and even correlation between the use of the abstract concept repetition, and his use of the concept of gradualism in the papers gradual development. \u00a0Prior to studying Ron Resch\u2019s Work, I was used to gradualism being used primarily in academic settings and depicting slow changes that otherwise couldn\u2019t be tracked. This enables you to be hyper aware of these small shifts that get an image from \u201ca to b,\u201d specially when these changes refer to nature. However, when artistically utilized, gradualism is like opening up an artist\u2019s sketchbook to the viewer. \u00a0The gradual changes are made present slowly by the rise in asymmetry that alters with every loop. This type of gradualism and repetition is best shown through Ron Resch\u2019s Work \u201cFolded Square Module.
These are individually folded square paper modules. As shown these can not be folded from a single sheet. Yet properly reassembled (correct arrangement would look almost identical to this image) they could represent one of my periodic paper folded patterns. See the “Ron Resch Paper and Stick Film” or my paper folding patent for details of the folding pattern. These were used to support a glass floor during the “Made With Paper” exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
he did this by first creating changes evenly at every line, then gradually using \u201can increasingly random process,\u201d this increased randomization \u00a0Ron Resch addresses in the quote wouldn’t be possible without the ability of computer software. Such an incremental and gradual change couldn\u2019t be truly replicated by hand, and couldn’t be visually analyzed with a physical representation with a scientific data table on a computer. when trying to reenact the paper folds through code I thought about the idea that when using computer coding for art you lose an aspect of the artistic composition process, or an ability to convey emotion that is typically associated with science. Computer backgrounds completely ignore that intersection where data that is able to be represented by art and vise versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The computer\u2019s use of repetition and gradualism, although \u201ccommonly debated\u201d enables one to accurately display gratuity, one increment at a time, and removes the idea of \u201cgood composition\u201d that is associated with classical art. It also aids the idea of proportionality, given the fact that only one increment can be tweaked and not all at a proportional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When pairing gradualism with repetition each change creates a newly altered image. \u00a0I can understand the frustration with not being able to start over again, as I didn’t delete any code once written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was doing my response to \u00a0Ron Resch\u2019s work, and utilizing these computerized functions such as for, float,or random, in order to increase the perceived ambiguity of their relationship I used these functions exclusively as a tool in order to express my art, rather than giving the computer complete control the sketch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had full governance over my art. I didn\u2019t leave anything up to chance or indiscriminate of the function type. \u00a0Even where the computer could chose randomly, each set or \u201carray\u201d of numbers had been continuously altered by me prior for an extended time in order for it to convey what I wanted to convey.The parameter I chose to change was the variable Z which represents not only the width and height of the ellipse but also a maximum amount of rings surrounding each circle. \u00a0As Z increases, the frequency the squares or “papers” show and the amount each decreases. When changing this, my goal was to represent the l. I used gradient \u00a0to represent the limited nature of not restarting and sticking with one sheet of paper as i think it really depicts the essential aspect of repetition and the relationship with it and mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although not required, i also made another pattern sketch that represents repetition without the paper constant resch worked with, I much prefer no contrasts and the ability to make all mistakes and not have to repeat them <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The idea of repetition as a stylistic technique has been popular throughout art history in order to convey things with a unified focus in multiple ways. Repetition as a concept is abstract and applicable to a plethora of artistic styles….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":11447,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[365],"tags":[441,442],"class_list":["post-11446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-genres-2","tag-repetition","tag-pattern","wpcat-365-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11446"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11486,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11446\/revisions\/11486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
