Duchamp,Duchamp,Duchamp,**
From reading the notes in the essay on tout fait issue three."Why the Hatrack is and/or is not Readymade: with Interactive Software, Animations, and Videos for Readers to Explore
i.e what is a ready made? well a “ready made” is a ready made word that was used in the garment industry that Duchamp used when talking to certain people, to describe what he had been working on. The ready made is a “brain fact”*, it exists in multiples, both in 2d and 3d forms in the outside world, i.e drawings and sculptures. These have been made at different points and times, obviously the originals have been lost!!. They relate to the notes he made to accompany the large glass, in which he talks about a new kind of perspective. This is a perspective that relies on movement. The article illustrates that the black and white photograph of the coat rack for example incorporates multiple perspective which have been subtly cut and pasted into the background image of one perspective. So Duchamp was in one of the very first photo shop's manipulating images on multiple layers!! (Always way ahead, always way ahead!! oh shut up!!).....ahmm.....So the article goes on to explain that the top plan and side elevation that Duchamp gave in the notes, which creates a 3d model of the bachelor apparatus from the large glass does not fit correctly with the perspective drawing of it in the large glass. So was Duchamp a shit draughtsman when it came to perspective? Apparently not, computer modelling using the 3D model from the plan and elevation drawings he made shows that the perspective drawing in the large glass is made up of multiple views of the 3D model all combined to create this slightly strained or new perspective of movement and time!!
check it out you all!! I implore you!!! its completely fascinating and pointless at the same time
*what the hell is a brain fact!!!
It only exists in your brain?
**To be chanted like.... rounder, rounder, rounder etc
where is charlie brown?
