fieldware is conceived as a linguistic exploration of the object and its potential constitution through sign and mediation. Addressing both openness and the complex-hole, the work develops experimental pathways around abstraction as the production of meaning. Through the logic of “what comes off,” fieldware emerges as redundancy, a broken rhythmic play, a collapse of vanishing lines. It stages field and ware, ground and ground, operating on the sign as a gesture extended across a flat line until this continuity is abruptly interrupted by the brutal immediacy of form.
As the culminating work of the cycle, it expands into a distributed topology of image and sound, with up to sixteen screens across multiple aspect ratios. The sonic dimension, developed with Alexandre Montserrat, intensifies its dispersive qualities, situating the viewer in an immersive environment of fracture and resonance. In this way, fieldware stages the field not as metaphor but as operative condition: a topology where signs circulate, dissipate, and sediment into provisional objectivities, foregrounding meaning as an unstable and recursive event of mediation.
