The anthropometric and numeric scale of proportions, named "Modulor" by the architect Le Corbusier, is an effort to achieve a universal standard. However, standardization is always problematic as it leaves out anything that is perceived as a deviation. As Jung said, we can calculate the average weight of all the pebbles on a beach and find the specific number 145 grams, whereas in fact there may not be even a single stone on that beach weighing exactly that.

This short stop motion animation is an effort to pit standard and nonstandard (real or imaginary) against each other.

Le Corbusier'nin Modulor adını verdiği antropometrik ve sayısal ölçek, bir tür evrensel standart belirleme çabasıdır. Ancak standardizasyon her zaman problemlidir, "sapma" olarak algıladığı herşeyi dışarıda bırakır. Jung'un da dediği gibi bir plajdaki tüm çakıl taşlarının ortalama ağırlığını hesaplayabiliriz, ama belki de o plajda o ağırlıkta tek bir taş bile yoktur.

Bu kısa stop motion animasyon, standartla standart dışını (gerçek veya hayali) karşı karşıya getirme çabasıdır.

  • @danamite666 It is used just as a toy which symbolizes nonstandard, a deviation.
