Concept & Analysis The article we read about Variations Of Incomplete Open Cubes made it clear that this instillation was a compilation of iterative pieces each representing an abstract cubical form. It was important that the form of the gallery reflect not only the concept of phase shifting from the music, but also the orthagonal and iterative nature of the artwork.

concept
Instillation of artwork is square. An abstracted simple cube may be most attractive concept.
How can concept of phase shifting from the music be represented as a diagram?
form
Elevation sketch Too literal interprepation of artwork...only one iteration shown. No Phase shifting present.
Linear elements
Linear regular rhythm
Figure/Ground using solid and void Intersting diagram, but not iterative. Site may not allow for spaces created to be large enough for instillation.
Partial cube extended over surroundings constructed out of sticks and glass Too literal interprepation of artwork...only one iteration shown. No Phase shifting present.
Plan sketch
Stacked Cubes -rotated and offset Iterative quality, but creating usable space may be problematic.
Radial regular rhythm
Radial phase shift

In Piano Phase, the selection of music on which I chose to base my form, there are eight "voices". Seven of the eight voices shift a 1/16 note out of phase in round robin. The mathematics of these shifts should serve as the foundation for the formal representation of the music.
Sticks form space -- No walls No perceptible interative quality.. too random
How can the orthogonal and iterative nature of the artwork be represented as a form?
Conclusions Linear expression of phase shift coupled with orthogonal form does not appear to be unique enough to be an interuption in the fabric of the neighborhood.
Decisions Form will consist of orthogonal elements offset radially.
