THE HORSE
Two modalities and Cloning
Project starts with Laruelleian non-correlationism and the
concept of proxies and cloning
The project focuses on the relations between the prototype and the
representation, between the physical and the digital
As seen in Ancient Greek Sculpture, the form of the horse head operates as a prototype
trying to mimic the power and stability of the real horse. he artists, rater than attempting
to mimic and reproduce successful examples that previous cratsmen created, rather
adapt the work to current sensibilities
he machine vision of the prototype and the new way of understanding the prototype
as a combination of diferent parts is the main subject of the project. hrough advance
technics of representation , the prototype is represented by its own image which has its
own authentic and unique characteristics, introducing a new kind of prototype. In this
situtation the image of the initial object become new object relecting some properties of
the “one” but the same time having their own ontologies in spatial representation
he projection of the image of a marble horse head of Parthenon on a piece of marble
introduces a novel approch in percieving a well known artifact. he variety of the new
representational images of the piece introduce new relations between the parts both
from a spatial point of view and a new investigations in materiality through
shadow and light
