    dorkbot has only a motto: "people doing strange things with electricity". Different groups have interpreted the motto in different ways. When I thought of the motto I purposely made it broad and inclusive so that it would interest many different kinds of people doing different kinds of things. Artists, inventors, scientists, engineers. The exciting thing to me is to learn about strange things that creative people are doing around the world, with no regard for genre, style, school of thought, area of expertise, etc.

    intricacies of the abyss





















    ''Lynne Clibanoff: 25 Years in Perspective'' is a formidable mid-career retrospective of 61 works that include prints, photographs, drawings and sculptures. ''I do a lot of different things,'' Ms. Clibanoff said. ''I make art because I have to amuse myself.''

    Although the show may initially seem too inclusive, it emphasizes that the artist is dealing with spatial perception regardless of medium. She certainly blurs the distinction between art and craft.

    Ms. Clibanoff creates architectural spaces that have a mysteriously haunting presence. They are familiar yet unidentifiable, questioning the notion of reality. Because her rooms have been realized as three-dimensional folded prints and box constructions, they do exist as real artistic representations.

    Using her sculptures as architectural models, Ms. Clibanoff photographs these constructions. In ''Interior #25 (hard light),'' the black-and-white photograph represents a seemingly believable space, even documented by the camera. She uses light as a drawing tool to delineate such architectural features as the doorway and the staircase at the left. It may not be coincidental that her father was a popular Philadelphia magician; Ms. Clibanoff is able to create her own successful illusionist tricks.

    Ms. Clibanoff is best known for box constructions, the primary focus of her career. These works suggest stage sets and recall the tradition of ideal Renaissance city plans as well as 17th-century architectural portraits by Saenredam. For example, ''Topiary'' is an intricate sculpture of three spaces with interior and exterior views. Looking directly at the electrified box, there is a staircase that leads to the manicured hedges and topiary bushes that are illuminated. At the right, a small room has a window view of another spiral topiary design. On the left side, there is a third area like some monastic cell. This is one of her largest designs, reaching a size that was less manageable for the artist. Ms. Clibanoff explained that it was cumbersome for her to carry these sculptures: ''I am a small person who does like things that are portable.''

    For the past few years, she has been working on a more intimate scale with cigar boxes, calling them cabinets. They are little gems. The artist creates an architectural design of geometric forms that is perfectly sized for its container, leaving the original commercial markings on the sides of the wooden box. Each has an acrylic skylight that allows natural light to shine into the vacant interiors, adding a sense of intrigue like a setting for some story not fully told.
