A remarkable feature of artist Fred Sandback’s string constructions has often been noted: that the geometrical forms created with string have a strong planar feel. Phenomenologically, the spaces between the strings are perceived as planes with some substance. The illusion is amodally completed, as in the famous Kanizsa triangle, by minimal prompts, but in three dimensions. Instead of an illusory figure, then, Sandback creates illusory planes. By noting how the constructions are like “impossible” figures, we can see how bottom up and top down effects combine to complicate the illusion and the works become about the construction of space rather than its reification.

Fred Sandback 雕塑中的幻觉平面

人们经常注意到艺术家 Fred Sandback 弦乐结构的一个显着特征：用弦乐创建的几何形式具有强烈的平面感。从现象学上讲，弦之间的空间被视为带有某种物质的平面。这种错觉是非模态完成的，就像著名的 Kanizsa 三角形一样，通过最少的提示，但在三个维度上。沙巴克创造了虚幻的位面，而不是虚幻的人物。通过注意到这些建筑如何像“不可能”的人物，我们可以看到自下而上和自上而下的效果如何结合起来使错觉复杂化，并且作品成为关于空间的构建而不是其具体化。
