#26 Re-Evaluate The Error

Sint-Lucas Beeldende Kunst Gent - Belgium

Anton Van Steelandt

MISTER LATTE. This image contains quite a lot of errors. There is an optical illusion present, which already gives some false knowledge to its viewer. But also the person in the image itself gives a very odd impression because of his weird outfit. Everything seems wrong, but at the same time feels like a statement of this strange individual. He’s not afraid to show his true face, even if he doesn’t show it at all.

Lien Buysens

My drawing presents a teapot who can serves two cups in once. Isn't it nice?

Lien Schalenbourg

The man is juggling. He's short on balls. Thankfully his face has come a little loose, so he can add more juggling material.

My drawing is a result of searching. The idea formed itself after making some sketches of some birds and trees. The picture suggests a young bird that mistakenly has grown too much and reaches a height above the forest trees. This has a positive impact on the bird, he is no longer fed by its mother, but can eat independently, especially when a flying fish flies in its beak my mistake.

ERROR ON WHEELS. Two racers both heading for the finish. While you might think the biggest and strongest will pass the finish first, its victory is already doomed because of the smaller one passing right through him: either he crushes him for victory or he loses for sake of both their safety. Can “real” victory be achieved?

MY COLLECTION. My collection of bugs might look like an error. The collection is drawn, therefore they are not real insects. But just because they’re drawn, I can choose whatever size or colour I want them to have. I also don’t have to kill any real bugs to put them into my collection.

HE ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. The individually human being won't rush into the advanced devised path. Yes, he is different and probably a bit weird, but he will have a fascinating life without taking the common step. He is no average Joe.

I was thinking about the human body errors when I found out that you could interpretate Picasso's famous works as errors. The eyes and mouth are at one side of the face – what we now call “cubism” – but it could be that Picasso just met someone with a deformation who brought him to the idea of the deformed paintings that made him famous and rich.

Liesbeth De Stercke

My work revolves around 2 skeletons enjoying their retirement. One’s growing a lush garden, the other is birdwatching.

CREATE YOUR OWN OXYGEN. We know that global warming is a big issue. We know that if we don’t do something our grandchildren will have problems with the environment. I tried to come up with a solution. I thought: why don’t I try to make oxygen myself?

THE MAZE. You could say that life is like a maze. Every day there’s a new challenge. Sometimes you make a wrong turn but that makes you discover new things, new people, ideas.

In this drawing, I have reversed the outer features of a house. The house becomes transparent and the windows are plains. These plains throw a shadow into the house. Normally a house throws a shadow in his environment and the windows let light through. This constructive "mistake" has a positive element included: the shadow creates the capability for moss and other plants to grow in the shadow. This growth marks the purity of this place. Shadow is often seen as a dark side of things, but can equally mean the opposite: exceptional flora, for example, or protection against sunburn, etc…

This image is based on the animals in the zoo, who become depressive from doing nothing all day long. To counter this phenomenon, the animals' food is hidden in their cage with the intention to make the animals more active. Also I switched the role from prisoner and visitor, which causes the error. This way, men have still the advantage of being safe from the animals, while the animals are active.

This drawing is also based on a constructive ”error”. The crane, used to build the house, is processed as a part of the building. It gets a new (positive) function by being an aid to the windowcleaner. He can easily reach all the windows (for cleaning issues) around the building by attaching himself to a cable of the crane.

HANDS GROWN TO FINGERS. The idea of the drawing arose from the fact that in this world people have to be able to handle multiple tasks at once. Therefore an evolutionary advantage (error) would be additional hands grown to the fingers. You can fasten up your work-speed and do a lot of more different things at the same time. I set this drawing in a barbershop to demonstrate the positive effects of this error, but you can show it in any situation.

HEADS WITH ADD ON. I made a couple of heads, each with an error put to good use. This idea was loosely based on nuclear disasters and the effects they have on the offspring.

Kim Hoebe

ACCIDENTS CAN LEAD TO NEW SOLUTIONS. I’m interested in such things. In this case a scientist (Darwin perhaps) makes a mistake by throwing ink all over the table. But by looking at the shape of the spot he is noticing it looks like a bird. This gives him a new idea or clue for his research. Maybe the most ingenius inventions started this way. A funny thought.

Kim Hoebe

This is my dynamic world system. While people talk about evolution and belief… one thing leads to another. People try to control their nature, while at other places nature goes its own way. It happens all the time. I made an abstract image of this idea.

Joyce Depauw

This image is based on a fact that everyone who owns a car has experienced one time or another. You are looking for a place to park. You see an empty space, only to come to the conclusion that you'll never fit in. I was thinking how handy it would be if you could just drive sideways into the space, without any difficult moves.

Lore Smolders

For this drawing, I was inspired by the tallest man in the world. Some men are so tall that they can easily feed their women.
