A Practical and Spiritual Significance
To date, computers and the Internet is to people of present time what religion is to people in late 12th to early 13th century. We, to be exact, now rely heavily on and addicted to computers and the Internet, so did people in late 12th to early 13th century, whose life focus was religion which reflected on ancient Gothic architecture. The invention of computers fostered the efficiency of information delivery. Besides, the Internet also shortened the distance and broke the barriers between countries around the world. With the same respect, the introduction of Gothic buildings in Middle Ages transformed that of the classic and thus began a fresh architecture formation at that time. The newly-developed Gothic architecture was eccentrically spread from the centre, Paris, to the UK, German, the northern Spanish and the northern Italy.
Among those Gothic buildings, Gothic cathedrals are of necessity mention-worthy. They, as the symbols of heaven, are not only the places where prayers gather but a sacred devotion to Saint Mary. They also manifest the index of prosperity, the life centre of the society and the shelter of people and of their emotions. What this piece of work seeks to address is to reconstruct Gothic formation of architecture by manipulating IC socket, an electric component where CPUs are inserted with a PGA package. IC socket pins were piled to perform the formation of Gothic construction. This was done to, on the one hand, put an emphasis on the importance of computers and the Internet to our human beings and, on the other hand, portrait that Gothic cathedrals were spiritually significant to people of the time. In brief, computers and the internet as well as Gothic cathedrals both serve as practical and spiritual significance to people of some particular time and this art work presents the close link between the two.
