USB cables are the only cables that allow information and power to flow in both directions. But while the power always travels the information gets lost at a certain cable length—the longer the cable, the higher the entropy.
Knot making is an ancient craft to build structures, form containers and create decorative objects. It has always been used as a mnemonic technique to remember and pass on history; the knot tied in a handkerchief, cat‘s cradle games and tapestry, connect knot making, information, and power in a political sense.
Knotting together usb cables literally and conceptually creates structures of information and power, which form connections, contain, hold, and actually power the sculpted paraffin works which feature reliefs of hands and interwoven structures.
Today, information is the key concept drawn upon to frame and explain the universe—analogous to the ether in earlier times. The ether, one of the five classical elements, is a hypothetical substance which was imagined to either be a liquid or a solid and supposedly filled the universe to hold the stars in the sky and allow light to travel.
The liquid and solid states of paraffin lie close together, it melts at body temperature. The translucent material has another inherent relationship to light; for centuries it has been used to make candles. Holding shapes, paraffin wax can carry information—as a fingerprint, seal or sculpture. Because of its ability to change its state it references the idea of the ether and also reminds of Descartes’ wax argument which shows that there is an act of judgment involved in perception.
