About this artwork
In this large composition, artist John Diehl crafts a monolithic piece using the Pythagorean theorem and advanced light-absorbing paint. While its elegance is apparent from a distance, a closer inspection reveals subtle pencil lines and intimate traces of the human touch. These are my marks as a human being entering the posthuman era, says John. The equilateral triangle commands the pristine white backgroundÑmaking a bold statement about the persisting significance of human agency and creativity in a world of technological innovations.
