BENJAMIN S. JONES | Deployable Structures
This project for Blackbird presented a unique opportunity for me as a sculptor: to create something that can exist solely on the Web
The two Quicktime VR objects created for Blackbird were
created in tandem with the sculptural installation The Best Defense
/ The Other Side of the Fence. In a way, the digital project
can be seen as a series of refined sketches for the larger project;
however, that read begins to diminish their autonomy as unique objects.
I prefer to think of them as propositions, not quite tangible but
undeniably unique entities. Many of my works function as propositions,
as opposed to literal representations.
That Deployable Structures 1 & 2 exist
solely on the Web reinforces them as propositions and further situates
them in the grey space between the physical and the virtual. This
is where my interest lies, drifting in the maze of irrational values
between one and zero.
