Comments on: A Fictitious Argument Emerges Between Coriolis & Beaufort http://www.c71123.com It's o[blog]atory, isn't it?

Though, a lot of the work that I do stems from the process of taking a simple/simplistic idea and iterating it to such a degree that something unexpected emerges from the system. In this case, the "simple idea" was wind affecting a flag. My space was defined by the curator and I worked through the steps from there.

There are too many things I would like to say in response to your installation but the fact of the matter is since viewing your video my mind has begun to race at an unimaginable pace and I fear I will not be able to piece words together in a cohesive manner. So I will just say this: I was amazed with your installation. The visual effects are uncanny and amicably amorphous. However, after looking again, and connecting the installation with it's given title, I am awe struck with the concept behind this piece. I can't imagine what it would take just to visually piece this project together, but you went a step further with the title by cluing the viewer into your personal meaning of this project. It's very entertaining to dwell on the idea of Coriolis and Beaufort in a heated argument! As an end note, I'd just like to say kudos to you for the double entendre in the title. I hope that I am correct in assuming the wit used in your choice of the word "fictitious." If I am incorrect, which I somehow doubt, you should look further into Coriolis and his ties to fictitious, and I think you shall be rather amused. Keep up the beauty!!

My Uncle teaches and studies art and he dresses exactly like the guy in the photo. I was just wondering who the guy is in this picture because he looks exactly like my Uncle from the back .
