"Humor" in Binaryby ~rebootmaster2001

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Abstract

Work from my Bachelor of Fine Art thesis show

___________________________

This is one of my favorite pieces, just because I really had a vision and passion to complete it. Here I spelled out "Humor" in Binary code using ceramic toilet paper. I threw the toilet paper on the wheel as a closed off double cylinder. It took a while, and I don't think I would have finished it if it wasn't so close to my heart. It's not the best image, it's much better seen in person.

___________________________

In this line of work, using everyday objects as text, I wrote out concepts which I have struggled to grasp in binary code. I chose binary code because of its simple yet complex characteristics. In binary code, you either have a “1” or a “0”. It’s simply one or the other. However, when put together in a sequence they can represent characters which form words used for communication. Everything input into a computer has to be filtered through binary code. I compared this to the way people think. Everything I feel is brought into me through a language that I understand. The objects I choose may or may not make sense to everyone because it is the mental connection I make when I relate difficult concepts to my tangible, physical world. The viewer may be able to draw the same connections I do, or to their own ideas. These pieces also work as hieroglyphs in that sense, giving this body of work a bilingual quality that I enjoy.

The series of work is interesting. The question I have is that when you are able to use the daily objects, why remake it in ceramics?

Nicely done. As a coder and a photographer, I appreciated the art AND the technology. The MSB position threw me for a bit as well, (sorry for the pun) but I worked through it. Had to laugh at some of the comments about the bit lengths. Not all systems are 8 bit or multiples of 8 bit. As a matter of fact, before anyone else bashes him for 7 bits, go read the history of ASCII... [link] Thanks for sharing your work!

I'm glad you like it! Thanks for backing up my 7-bit choice.

Now I know what binary means, now I'm one of the people who know binary!

yay!

so that's why you chose to have it 7 rows! the first row was full of 0's

awesome work by the way
