Description (C6H10O5) n (C6H10O5) n is an 8-page stapled comic book on which no it says nothing but the page numbers. The idea of \u200b\u200bachieving this is the song of
4:33 John Cage (1952): the musician is sitting at the piano for four minutes and thirty seconds without playing the instrument, resulting in two results, first make us reflect on the meaning the other side of the music and discover the sounds that are hidden in the silence.
(C6H10O5) n also stems from
White Paintings (1951) by Robert Rauschenberg
, a series of all-white paintings which were a source of inspiration of the same
Cage.
John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg's friend
noticed that the appearance of the White Paintings
, although designed as a completely white, according to the changing light conditions in which they were exposed. The inability of the white
resulted in the impossibility of absolute silence when
Cage composed
4:33 . The vacuum left by the silence of the musical instrument was filled by the beating of the heart, breath and other noises that are inevitably produced by man or nature. In
(C6H10O5) n this impossibility of total cancellation translates into the need to give a title - any title that somehow appoint the work, even "
Untitled "- And in the natural sequence (or" become natural "after centuries of tradition) which take the sheets of paper, even white, when they are bound and take the form of a book.
These two elements that emerge as necessary in the book have possible to devise a curious title -
(C6H10O5) n , that is the chemical formula of cellulose, which looks like a book whose pages are white - and a layout very original palindrome that makes the reader, picking up the book, it always has before him the cover.
usually within the comic book's thesis on the significance of comics are based on an examination of elements that make a sottindendono - dramatize, draw, color - and never a person to grasp.
(C6H10O5) n arises because it is the comic that emerge from the sheet of paper.
