Binary Man: The Middle

28 | July | 2011

All wrapped up

no place to go

Trust me, Binary Man is in there… Somewhere. I filmed a little bit of The fine tuning of the figure, but it came out to 47 some odd minutes. I probably won’t post that, as it is mostly musing on what I’m going to do with the statue as opposed to actually doing anything to it.

So far, as of right now, the figure element is complete. I’m not going for a fully detailed figure, just an accurately proportional stance. I am a little leary of the thing, though. It seems that the incrediblly light wire in the armature has a tendency to note be rigid enough. I may be regretting buying armature as opposed to welding one up from scratch. It’s the weight of the polymer clay that concerns me, but I think (read: hope) it will stiffen up once it has time to sit and also during the bake.

Now I just have to wait for my copper tacks to arrive…

Binary Overlap

Kind of a New Logo

I’ve taken binary to a level of reduction by way of using staples and tacks as general reference to the symbols of 1 and 0. I’ve further reduced this since the first of the pieces of 8 works to materials and color through the use of ‘bb’s. Again, like with the staples and tacks, I searched for an abundant supply of something in order to meet the necessary amounts of 1s and 0s that combine to form single letters.

For a painting project, a personal narrative, I’ve gone back to staples and tacks and a painting professor brought up a point about the use of tacks specifically. Since this was a painting class, and at the same time we are stretching canvases, the professor saw that I was using these copper tacks and alluded to their use in an older process of stretching canvas. Before the advent of staples, these copper tacks I use were used to hold the canvas on a stretcher bar.
