aer( )sculptures
|
«The Aerogel sculpture is a promising project because of potential advances toward minimal weight of 3D artworks which
Ioannis Michaloudis hopes to suspend "in
mid-air" via directed and quantified magnetic fields (see Klein-Ruhnau
"air-architecture")». |

"-Icare, I care…", silica aerogel
aer( )sculpture,
7.5’’x4.5’’x4’’, California, 2002
On the background we see the two half of the wing mold. As far as the ‘’orange
sunset’’color, is coming from the reflection of the
aer(
)sculpture on a sheet of PVC.

The body of Icarus seen from behind. The left “arm” is broken during the de-mold procedure of 09/21/02 and the color
of the Silica is violet because of a warm lighting.

The aer( )sculpture looks like a ghost
image,like a 3-D X-ray: same color, same indefinite transparency, same
“representative’’
(and not euclidean)
space.
