Unlocking the Tension in the Depth of Field


" To unlock is to reveal: To reveal is to emerge a new sense in space or the being"
- Prof. Gamal El-Zoghby


A field condition can be described as having an infinite boundary within its own space and time. Similar properties all inter-related, a network of some matrix interacting. This investigation addresses the variations derived from this field of tectonics; the study of modular variations working together to form a single interface, but there is a secondary interface at a different scale as well. There is Tension within the field itself, a tension that will possibly release to unlock another region of space and time. (That which reveals the project). In my obje
ctive studies, it is through the variants (from the piano's vibrations and notational differentiations) that generated this field condition in a macro scale. It is now through the variables of the modules that generates the other surface within its field in its micro scale. There is a language between the two variant scales, a dialog in which only an unlocking (the revelator: that "thing") element can reveal its objective intent...

Vibrations leads to an echo, an echo through, space, an echo through time, an echo that amplifies the voice of our mind. This is where the human mind can resonate. To resonate is to unlock that which only the being itself can realize.


I continue by creating different variants from the single module derived from the piano keyboard. These configurations indicates the infinite possibilities of how positive and negative spaces (voids) can interact. This is done by altering the position of the black and white elements allowing a chain of possible integrations thus creating a variation surface.

1. In what way can one define what is positive and negative space? Thus leading to an investigation of a figure- ground.
