There's No Distance

There's No Distance is a series of videos that are a direct evolution of the Still Life series of work from 2016, which emerged from code sketches made over the prior fifteen years. In Reas' words, “this artwork is a medium for thinking about simulation and the history of visual representation. Each frame of the video starts as Platonic solid (a cube) that is numerically defined and rendered to an image; this image is taken apart pixel by pixel to create a second-order image where a red, green, and blue line is drawn according to the color values of each pixel. As the cube is rotated slightly with each new frame, the lines flow to define a new space”.
