Re: [Frameworks] Stephen Partridge contact info: and/or a question about Monitor

Hi, Simon.  I have his email and will write him asap.  Report to follow if he 
replies.

That line is definitely not the edge of the table; I thought so too, but then 
students who were busily reenacting the piece (which required un-mothballing a 
small monitor and an SD camera) discovered that they just couldn't get the 
geometry right.  Either a wall painted for the purpose or wainscoting.  Either 
way, that line folds the background into work in novel way, particularly as it 
spins.  Good compositional torque that.

Dear John,
You can probably reach Stephen Partridge via his email address at the 
University of Dundee. I have always seen the diagonal line as the far edge of 
the table that the monitor is sitting on, so I'm intrigued by your suggestion 
that it's something more complicated.
Best wishes,
Simon Payne

[Frameworks] Stephen Partridge contact info: and/or a question about Monitor

2016-05-17 Thread John Muse 
Anyone want to share contact info for Stephen Partridge.  I have a question 
about his work Monitor https://vimeo.com/19121750  It's simple really, and I 
posted it to "Steve Partridge" via the vimeo account.  The monitor sits on a 
table and behind it is a sharp diagonal line which cuts through the feedback 
loop.  The line appears to be on a wall: it might be the edge formed between a 
light colored paint above and darker wainscoting below--I can just make out 
some vertical lines in the darker surface which may be a sign of wainscoting.  
The line would then be diagonal because the table on which the monitor sits is 
at an angle to the wall, the right corner of the table closer to the wall and 
the left side of the table, which extends beyond the edge of the frame, 
farther.  Anyone have a better guess or definitive information?  

Thanks!
