Indepth Arts News: "Mark Napier: Sacred Code" 2003-12-12 until 2004-01-17 bitforms gallery New York, NY, USA United States of America
The artwork translates the stream of bits
into motion: two calligraphic marks, one black and one white, chase one
another in a seemingly endless dance on screen, leaving behind faint trails
as the move. Rather than interpreting the meaning of the texts, the artwork
reads the "shape" of the texts: the shifting topography of binary code
drives the motion of the black and white trails on screen. In the process, a
binary world is represented as a cloud of shifting shades of gray.
The artwork is presented through physical installation with the "live" work
running on computers, and as large scale prints that show the cumulative
effect of a complete translation of one text.
