Bit Boxes: 3 Encoded Messages

Trippin’ Daisies

Redux of the More Bits’ flower . It was altered for the sake of a show called ‘Green Faerie’ which celebrated the legalization of absinthe in the States. Sadly, it was not completed in time. I altered it because the rest of the More Bits line dealt strictly with a specific theme encoded in the binary. As this one just said ‘flower’ I thought it best to separate it completely from it’s brethren.
Face of Time – C’est Fini
29 | August | 2007
Probably the most intensive project I’ve come up with outside of steel work, I’m calling the Face of Time complete. All the creative work is finished, anything else that comes along will be for displaying or archiving purposes. I’m contemplating whether to keep it O’Naturale, or seal it with a spray.
On one side, amassed together, the 33 pieces show a gigantic face. The back shows a unique pattern, but while displayed all at once form a lock-step alternating pattern. Each back is also marked with a single binary set that when—again when seen together—is an encoded message different from the big one painted on on the front.
Being the person that I am, I realized that viewing the pieces, individually or all together, side-long may be an experience in itself. To keep that from being uninteresting, there is some decorative paper and a more formal layout with a white stripe and a black block. Each of these is more or less unique, but some are done with the same paper to aid in reordering them.
And now for something completely different…
