The Corridor 
of Space

China, modernists and 
the cybernetic century

       
  author: Jan Krikke  
  characteristic: art, architecture, cybernetics  
       
    When missionaries in the 16e century discovered Chinese art, it revealed a new conception of space, one not presenting an optical view, but transmitting a vital tension. The philosopher Leibniz appreciated this relational harmony as did the impressionists of the 19th century. Gradually Chinese feeling penetrated the 20th century in for example Van Doesburg or Frank Lloyd Wright. According to Krikke it is even at the root of visual computing.
