Cuppetelli+Mendoza :: Notional Fields

Notional Field is part of a series of works that investigate ideas of phenomenology and  perception, focused through an exploration of the relationships between the physical  and! The virtual. Aesthetically and conceptually the work borrows from the “Light and Space” movement of the 1960’s, as well as from Kinetic Art (and specifically Venezuelan Constructivism), which we attempt to fuse with ideas and materials borne out of digital technologies.

The piece revolves around the idea of interface, which is interpreted as the point of contact between two different entities, and is displayed in the work in several ways: between the viewer and the piece (a human/computer interface); between the real and the virtual (the physical structure and its relationship with the projected structure); between the foreground and the background (as the projection interferes with its shadow).
