Crystallography: A Report on Lucid Writing / Bok, Christian ; Wittgenstein L., 1997
In this essay, Bok points out that crysallography, which denotes scientific study of crystals, literally means 'lucid writing.' He analyzes writings by Wittgenstein, Escher, Gallois, Deleuze, etc. in this context. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
The Limits of My Language Are the Limits of My World, 1999
This object was formed from by photocopied hand lettered text in the style Phillips uses for his text based sculptures, where each letter is physically linked to adjacent ones. The photocopied sentence of the title, glued onto the cube is repeated twice on each of its surfaces. The Sackner Archive also holds the hand-drawn maquette for this work. The text is by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
The Limits of My Language Are the Limits of My World [maquette], 1999
For this maquette, Tom Phillips hand lettered the text in the style he used for his text based wall sculptures. He marked design changes in small, red symbols. Each letter is linked to adjacent ones. The sentence of the title is repeated twice on each surface of the cube and hand-drawn on each surface of the wooden cube. The maquette is slightly smaller than the finished work that is also held by the Sackner Archive. The text is by the philospher Ludwig Wittgenstein. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
