Binge Thinking is my study on the physics of how we perceive space and time. Each art piece is the stroke of over a billion calculations and draws upon a unique way in which our brains interpret the spacial information they receive.
The art and sculpture of Jonty Hurwitz
Venice, 6-27 March 2010
Arte Laguna 2010, Arsenale, Tese di San Christoforo
I was recently having lunch with a friend who operates deep within the world of commercial art.
"Jonty," he said, "I hope I don't offend you, but I feel you're the David Blaine of the Art world".
Actually, I happen to love David Blaine, so my first reaction was a kind of eye-twitching amusement. It precipitated a moment of questioning my right to call all of this metaphysical musing art.
"Your work," he said, "is wonderful, its unique but it leaves no room for interpretation. Art buyers prefer the abstract."
Upon reflection and meditation, I realise that something much deeper is at play here.
The fact that each of my pieces offers some kind of absolute mathematical resolution seems to intimidate observers into believing that the reflection of the art is the actual art itself.
