Where the Reverse Abstraction series all began.
This hexadecimal sculpture is a recreation of Joseph Kosuth’s “One and Three Chair” piece. This work includes a chair, a picture of a chair, and a dictionary definition of the word "chair". Kosuth posed the question: what is the true nature of the “chair.”
I chose to recreate this idea using one object. A 3D rendering of the chair used in Kosuth’s project was created, broken down into its basic hexadecimal code, and its skeleton built back up using only the code. The chair is a chair to both humans (as a physical object) and computer (as code), but poses the question which is the real chair?
