SUMMARY:Domas Ignatavičius. On Functions and Planes
DESCRIPTION:The Universal Lithuanian Encyclopaedia defines an object as “a thing of the material world, appropriated from nature or manufactured in the process of production…” (https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/daiktas/). Objects manufactured in the process of production inevitably have a utilitarian purpose, which is in some way related to their purpose and function. However, an object is not just a set of functions, and our relationship with objects differs. The same tool is perceived differently by a professional who uses it daily and by someone who only occasionally encounters it or is merely aware of its existence. A person entering a scientist’s laboratory for the first time would simply see a bunch of strange objects that might be of visual interest, but this interest has nothing to do with the scientist using the “object” as a specific instrument for scientific discoveries, even though the “object”, as laboratory equipment, may resemble a household appliance used in everyday life (e. g., a centrifuge resembles a washing machine drum). In many cases, industrially manufactured objects have a “representational” side by which they are identified and another, less visible side, which is usually turned towards the floor, wall, or ceiling. This side typically contains the functional elements, such as wires, legs, or vents.\nObjects in space are described using a three-dimensional system, yet our visual perception of the world is inevitably projected onto a plane. It is generally difficult to simultaneously perceive the front-facing side of an object and what lies behind its “representational” surface. Transferring an object’s image onto transparent planes seems to eliminate the distinction between its representational and rear sides, allowing it to be viewed from all angles simultaneously and shifting it into the realm of ideas. The concept of the object as an idea is explored through experiments with manifestations of the material world, by implanting their fragments or playing with abstract forms.\n
