inference ... 2

Solitaire to a new level? Believe so. Every time a game is won, it always ends in this explosion of cards flying out of the screen and almost into the lap of the player. This artist took this to a whole new level of computer / reality intuity. The sculpture literally represents a freeze frame of the "congradulations" screen of solitaire. To understand the time it could have taken to make such a piece of art that has clearly defined the laws of our dementions would be almost as hard to make the piece. Its such a simple concept, but the result is really flabbergasting. As anyone can see, the computer screen is present in the background just like the actual game, but here it is almost as though a school of tuna rushed off the page in such a frantic manner that the fisherman caught them red handed. The green screen literally is engulfed wit these cards. Give the artist props for accomplishing such a puzzling task of taking an everyday solitaire and turning it into a waterfall of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs.

  1. Really interesting interpretation. Ilike your comparisons from regular solitaire to the artists take on solitaire.
