Authentic vs. Artificial
On a level of perception the blurring of the usually strictly distinct Authentic (Natural) and the Artificial creates a spectacle, because it puts us in an unusual situation where we have to reassess our usually fixed notions of experience of space, where the distinction between one and the other is (at least visually) always obvious.
The blurring creates something non referential, something weird in itself.
The right angle and the straight line are the formal extremes of the artificial.
The grid is the formal organisational expression of it.
The curved line is the formal expression of the authentic.
