Created by Joshua Yang, an engineer turned sculptor, Superstring - a series of single continuous line drawings is a site-specific installation consisting of drawings done on rolls of canvas stretched across pulleys and rollers and moved along in circular loops by electric motors in the fashion of conveyor belts or travellators. These drawings are done in a single continuous line with no breaks or overlaps. The concept behind the mode of drawing in a single continuous line ties in with the Superstring Theory which postulates that all matter in the universe is made up of and connected by tiny symmetrical vibrations called strings. The significance of connections and drawing parallels between science and art becomes apparent in the installation which couples art (in drawings) and science (motors and pulleys).

I was at the esplanade on friday and there is this art exhibition which is just installation of marker drawings on canvas.

But the concept of a string drawing is interesting, though it cannot be unique. The pictures took are a mess, and the actual is much nicer. Find time to visit esplande, and see them for yourself. =)

Among all, I think I like the drawing of the sewing machine most. Singer brand leh! So nostagic.
