Sentimiento cúbico.

Brief description:

Interaction with the work is only with the movement of the mouse, having to restart the page if you want to generate different colors. The cubes are apparently transparent, but one has something inside that cannot be seen being outside the cube.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development:

Based initially on Malevich’s work titled “pictorial realism, boy with a backpack”, I wanted to take it to a three-dimensional and interactive level. Without seeking that silence that the objects of the ideology of abstraction demanded, the work needs a connection with words to be formulated and that can include the viewer, referring to Mitchel, who in one of his writings speaks of modernism and post-modernism, of the inevitable relationship between the work and the viewer.

Therefore, although morphologically it is based on one of the most famous paintings of the abstract movement, I do not intend to give this work a meaning only from the theoretical side, but also to include the sentimental associations that the viewer may give it. That is why it is represented through the change of colors given by the movement of the mouse how feelings can change due to a subtle movement, the relationship between these colors and feelings is something subjective to each person, the work being a trigger for these.

Quoting a text by Heinich Natalie, “the object is just a pretext, at most an activator, that will induce actions, words, operations, reconfigurations of space, and the work is in this set of things.” Subjectivity and interpretive freedom are present in this work, through the actions and thoughts that the viewer may have with it, and without being limited by the object that contains it.
