VECTOR WORLDS
...These illustrative diagrams, which have also taken the lives of rivers, trees and stars as their source, use the modern computer language of vectors to describe nature.
They reduce the living and breathing into skeletons of precision and order, offering a beauty that often transcends its source. A complex process, the artist best describes his approach as the conflation of 'isolated elements of design, architecture and art into universal forms and shapes' that become signifiers, not just of universalised building forms, but also of the inherently political process of globalisation and its geographic consequences'. In his Vector worlds series (2007), Muller finds beauty in these artificial worlds. With titles such as Shooting stars and Galaxy, these works present the possibilities of a universalised sublime; the infinity of the sky captured in a reductive language of vectors.
