In From Dreams I Proceed to Facts, Wylie focuses this interplay around Edwin A. Abbott&#8217;s fable Flatland adopting its simple streamlined visual appeal.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Flatland chronicles the life of a square whose precise and orderly (and two dimensional) world is turned upside down upon the unexpected appearance of a sphere. After interrogating this three dimensional outlander, the square is forced to re-define his notions of fact and fiction. It is this epiphany which inspired the artist.<\/p>\n<p>Artist&#8217;s Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/liamwylie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/liamwylie.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>January 25 \u2013 Febuary 24, 2012<\/strong><br \/>\nDaily until 12 am<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>sculptural work explores the tenuous boundary between myth and science and how these two supposedly antithetical factions interact and often overlap with one another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=7093\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7093"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7806,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7093\/revisions\/7806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
