#WorkOfTheWeek: Toby Ziegler's 'The Hedonistic Imperative (2nd version)' 2006 is a large canvas covered with gold leaf that has been scratched and marked with graphite and painted with repeated geometric patterns suggestive of cloud formations. The title of this work is derived from a theory of the same name proposed by philosophers and scientists in the 1990s which suggests that all incidences of pain in humans can be eradicated through genetic engineering, nanotechnology and drugs. Although Ziegler has not discussed the connection between this theory and his work, the painting could be seen to use technological means to break down the aesthetic qualities of the cloud image and manipulate them in a way that heightens the viewer’s pleasure.
