Kasimir Malevich Black Square (1915)

Kazimir Severinovich Malevich was a painter and art theoretician, pioneer of geometric abstract art and one of the most important members of the Russian avant-garde.

"If there is a truth," said Malevich, "then only in abstraction, in nothingness."

Malevich's Black Square (1915) was for him, he said, the "majestic newborn, living, royal infant" representing the world - Andrei Nakov called it the "zero form of the new painting" (i.e. Suprematism).Malevich aimed at the "supremacy of pure feeling" or abstraction "in itself." The black rectangle is "freed from the pressure of objects."Black of course is the color of anarchy, appearing now in rectangular form. The Black Square is then to be considered as a "positive presence" - we might say that it is the form of negation.The more positive and primary presence is, however, at least in my opinion, is the tetragrammaton, the brilliant structure of the Diamond Lotus of Om mani padme hum.

SuiCycle is a lovely animated short created for the 2007 DesignPolitics exhibit in Santiago, Chile. The exhibit is described as “a forum for visual ideologies comprised of the best issue-driven design work from around the globe.”
This short, designed to play as a never-ending loop, is “a look at what goes in, what goes out, and how everything we swallow gives the environment a case of indigestion.”
It’s the work of Albert Cerriteño (previously).
