From suggestor: "Those toilet paper rolls are ceramic! Yet detailed down to the fluffy print and tear lines. The fact that it also spells something out in binary code just tickles my fancy more, but I am still amazed at the ceramic toilet paper rolls!" When I first saw "Humor" in Binary: Detail by =rebootmaster2001 I thought the toilet rolls were real too, the amount of detail especially in the gently imprinted patterns on each roll is so accurate it's easy to mistake them for actual toilet rolls.

'Humor' in Binary: Detail

Description

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.
