This artist installation by Danish artist Tommy Stockel - "from here to there and back again" - makes physical the ideas of disintegration and integration. While designboom blog describes the work as "rotting or disintegrating," it is actually impossible to determine in which direction the work is progressing - it is either integrating itself or disintegrating apart - without introducing the fourth dimension - that of time. As in the question of crowds or bodies, it is the introduction of a sequentiality to the picture that reveals the nature of that relationship between local elements. In a digitally fabricated production, that index of the relationships between parts that is produced may remain incomplete without some temporal indication of the sequence(s) of events.
