Möbius Ship
Echoing the working methods of ship-in-a-bottle hobbyists, California-based artist Tim Hawkinson created a painstakingly detailed model ship that twists in upon itself!!! (presenting the viewer with a thought-provoking visual conundrum).
The title is a witty play on Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick, which famously relates the tale of a ship captain’s all-consuming obsession with an elusive white whale. The ambitious and imaginative structure of Hawkinson’s sculpture offers an uncanny visual metaphor for Melville’s epic tale, which is often considered the ultimate American novel.
Möbius Ship also humorously refers to the mathematical concept of the Möbius Strip. Named after a nineteenth-century astronomer and mathematician, the Möbius Strip is a surface that has only one side, and exists as a continuous curve.
Traduccion (Para la gente del patio):
Etamo reportando haber vito una nave, que e' como epacial...una vaina bien
e' como una nave del futuro, porque yo he vito mucho barco
y cosa de fuera, pero nunca como eta!
Dicen lo americano que eso e como de hobby
que el artita Tim Arkinson creo una vaina como detallada
que tambien baila el twist!!
(y que eso provocaria mareos al no vidente)
El titulo e sacado de la novela Mary-Mar
que se trata de la famosa Thalia y su marido rico Mottola.
El barco es del futuro, porque ademas combina las matematicas
del siglo diecinueve con la astronomia de un solo lado
y despue la conbielte en una curva.
Eso gringo si saben. Un dia de eto se atreven a ir a la luna de velda.
Para Sabado de Corporan, reporta Mariana Brazoban.
