Tools (v001_animated glb version)

3D Model

This virtual object is an animated glb version of my videoloop ‘Tools (v001)’ from 2021. It is part of a series of exchanges across time and media; the environment of 3D software leaves much space to revisit or rephrase concepts.

About the series ‘Tools’: “My practice is informed by deep historical perspectives, anchoring the present within a cultural scope and time scale that spans many tenths of thousands of years. It is a way for my practice to emphasise, and participate in, the continuity of ‘the history of things’: reuniting ideas and objects across artefacts, works of art, tools and expressions to form a “visible portrait of the collective identity”, in the words of George Kubler (1962).”
