Welcome to the RedHog Alone picture archive!

When you hear the word three dimensional art, you, as the hacker you probably are, think of rendering and mathematical formulas. I, on the other hand, think only on mathematical formulas, not on rendering. Three dimensional art means to me sculptures, real sculptures, based on mathematics. My sculptures are curves, or combinations of curves. Each curve exactly computed in advance.
On this page, I present some of my work to you as photos and photomontages of the sculptures. Have a nice trip! Click on the pictures to see larger versions of them (Some are very large, for example the first photomontage with me and ALONE is about 400kb. Be aware!).

The sculpture Alone

Where is the border between art and mathematics? Or, from an other point of view, is there any border? If there is, Alone must be that border. If not, alone is where the border should have been, if it had existed. It is a mathematical sculpure.
Alone follows a curve with the formula y=ke^-(x²/2); z=ke^-((2x)²/2). This formlula gives, with a special value for k, the possibility (y) for two to each other added random numbers to be a specific value (x). If k is 1, the graph reaches a y value virtually equal to 0 at x=3. Virtually, while the y value never reaches 0, but it is narrowing it. At x=3, it is visually in a graph, equal to 0 if you zoom out enought to see the top of the curve. I have shoosen a value of k for this sculpture, which defines the length between the two "virtual 0 places", the end of the curve, to be exactly the squere root of 2 times the height of the sculpture's maximum (At x=0). This implies that the sculpture may be inscripted in a rectangle, with the same as a A4 peaper.	I, SITTING ON TOP OF MY SCULPTURE ALONE (PHOTOMONTAGE) DO YOU FEEL LIKE A CUP OF ALONE? (PHOTOMONTAGE)	Alone is named Alone, since it symbolize a standard distribution of human kinds. And the genious and the idiots, placed at the two opposit ends of the curve, are allways alone, while the average "normal" persons are allways together in groups. They have friends. These human kinds are symbolized by the cubes and globes on top of and at one of the two ends of the curve.

That was fiction. Here is reality: The sculpture is about 1.5m in length and resides temporary in a shelf in the wall in the entrance of my school. And it is really heavy; made of plaster aryed by iron.
