Toril Johannessen for instance makes use of analogies between both the scientific and capitalist market interpretation of expansion and abstraction. Through graph plots she shows how these very words are used in various economic, physics and art historical documents. The absurdity of a crafted wooden office chair - that would appear to be venerating at the foot of the graphs, or has been overturned by the Chaos theory - gives another hypothetical dimension and pulls you right into the impossibility of infinite growth.
