Created for "Looking close... on Friday!" theme of Spirals.
A large steel ball is placed upon the convergence point of some lines that radiate outwards from the centre.
Three steel ball-bearings rest atop a print-out of black and white lines converging to a central point. The edges of the central ball-bearing are as close to the focal plane as possible and, as such, show a particularly lucid sharpness to the smooth curve of the steel sphere.
Carlos Cruz-Diez: Chromosaturation
A pioneer of kinetic and optical art, Carlos Cruz-Diez (b. 1923, Caracas;
d. 2019, Paris) developed a singular visual language grounded in color, movement, and viewer participation. Through rigorous experimentation, he reconceived painting as a dynamic process, emphasizing color not as a fixed atribute but as a constantly shifting phenomenon.
As Cruz-Diez's most accomplished effort to project color into space as a livea, participatory experience, chromosaturation marked a turning polnt in his career. Conceived in 1965 and first exhibited in 1968, the installation consists of three interconnected chambers, each illuminated in a single hue: red, green, and blue. Immersed in this monochrome environment, the viewer experiences a kind of retinal overload, confronting the limits of visual perception. The work underscores color as an inherent property of light-a physical, temporal phenomenon that unfolds in real time as the

Optical Art, also known as OpArt, is an abstract style developed in the 1960s, featuring geometric shapes and lines in black and white or vivid colors. Based in theories of color and perception, Op Art compositions often create optical illusions of vibration or depth.
