AN ADVENTURE: The end of the circles (for now)

ADVENTURES:
Okay so maybe this is not a grand adventure, merely a small one. The time has come to exorcise the sphere/circle experiment from my thinking. I'm being called to move on to other things. So I spent a couple of days playing one last time with these shapes, to give them one last chance to take me somewhere new. They didn't but it was fun playing. And to honor the end as well as hope for the future of this work (yes a contradiction there) I created a mock up of a gallery installation of the whole Clark U/Sphere/Circle project in part as an exercise in positive visualization and as a true representation of how I believe the work could be shown in a meaningful way.


The small box on the floor is representative of the original research tool that the work was inspired by. The explanatory animation is on the left, the back wall pieces are interactive and demonstrate how the overlapping circle patterns are found and the right wall has the culminating "art" piece that is driven by the concept. This is designed for a 22' space. It's always good to dream.
