Binary Code Calligraphy on Bamboo Slips
We are living through a digital revolution. Writing, once executed by human hand with brush or pen is now almost all done by computer. The translation of script into computer fonts depends on each letter being represented in its own unique binary form of 0 and 1
In my work I have used my own binary code for SHO.These three codes are repeated over and over.
S= 01010011 _ _ __ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ __ __
H= 01001000 _ _ __ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _
O= 01001111 _ _ __ _ _ _ _ __ __ __ __
It is written on drift bamboo I picked up at the beach. Before paper was used for calligraphy, bamboo and wooden slips were the main media for written documents.
The work combines the most recent developments in Sho art with one of the oldest surfaces used for the art form.
