Cubism and Cubo-Futurism

Both of these movemnts were creating artworks which drew from spatial qualities- perception, perspective and spatial relationships.

By creating the virtual spaces in my model what i have done, is really very similar to the cubist concept. looking at the aforemented qualities in a 3 dimensional space (albiet on a screen) rather than a 2d canvas (with some exceptions, of course) and we come back to my thinking at the beggining of the course about the 3d to 2d relationship. - how to represent the 3 dimensional environmments in 2d.

Furthermore the futurists were also concerned with the representation of time in thier works. im my proejct the perspective and depth play a large role in repersenting time and potential movement, this is emphasised by the visibility through the walls.

THUS:
My work is perhaps better as an exploration of the spatial qualities that i have created in my virtual model rather than tryinh to turn it into something else.

The following is a link to an intersting writing on picasso's cubist work and what the advent of cubism means:

Futher note:

If there are 3 traditional dimensions with a 4th for time. What does the potential for there to be up to 11 dimensions means for our perseption and creation of space.
