Ryan Boserio is an emerging Perth artist, and he likes planes.
“I like the idea that a model plane can be used to fool people when
taking a picture of the finished product. There have been documented
cases where individuals who build models of planes have had the
authorities attention brought about, due to the fact that a photo of a
particular plane may be a security risk. This phenomenon has also been
prevalent with those that are affectionately known as “plane
spotters”, people who are at airports documenting planes and flight
paths, perhaps not because a photo of a plane is a security risk but
for another analogous security reason.
In both cases utilitarian design has been adopted for a purpose other
than the one for which it was intended, which we, as a society are
uncomfortable with.
For me, this presents an interesting blur between art and design as
well. For instance; is the creative act a documentation of plane paths
and numbers or is the creative act the flying of those planes that
are being documented? Is art the of building model planes or is it the
photographing those model planes in order for them to be appreciated
by other model plane builders? The answer is most likely both.”
