Visceral Facades: Taking Matta-Clark's crowbar to software



Having architecture for the first art of measurement of time and space helps to actually bring the structures to live. Where the computers build up from the scale of electrons, instead of stone and wood. The special effects of time and distance have helped with the perception of the environment greatly. Gordon was an artist who trained as an architect. Whereas some of his work could only been produced by someone who was completely familiar with the strange reality within reality of itself. Gordon really uses a split between art and architecture within his work. Sometimes shows the difference of past and present. The idea of the technical situations can be viewed at any point of development within the technical proficiency. The action that was carried in 1974, with the splitting of the house is a great example of change and transformation. He started with a simple house that was a simple detached wooden house and bisected the home. The whole house was exactly cut in two and the short film shows angles and he sunlights streams through the slits. The idea of taking a house and cutting it exactly into two shows the special effects of the time and distance. The idea of a houses architecture being cut into two is amazing to see because it is very unusual. The house's architecure becoming two is part of the past and present, the past as the house being a whole whereas the present, the architecure of the house into two. Architecture of the art with the time and space is exactly what this piece of art, and architecture is.
