A Study of the Digital Virtuality on El Lissitzky’s Proun

Abstract

Concept of Lissitzky’s Proun is the work having characteristics of virtual structure of time and space and can be reinterpreted by new method. Lissitzky’s works are complexed with constructivism of Russia and present with the way of constructivism, but actually they contain somewhat different contents with present art theories on the logic and space organization. The differences between internal and external concepts of Proun are caused by the fact that the nature of his work is formed on the basis of the digital space and image but the way of presentation is done on the basis of analogue media of his period. © 2003, Architectural Institute of Japan.
