Wires

Ongoing  /  Concept & Execution

Wires is a visualization of the underlying structure within the binary series articulated as 16x16, 4x4 and 2x2 grids

The grids and the connecting diagonals reveal self-similar patterns of repetition and continuity & discontinuity across different scales. In addition, the interwoven structures for the two values are rotationally symmetrical around the z-axis. The logic of the structure is comprehensible through the figure, but as the series scales up, the figures themselves are increasingly difficult to discern – as if manifest only through the barest perturbation of the field itself.

16x16
A red and blue checkered pattern is shown.
16x16 grid. The binary series can be read by counting from the bottom-left corner to top-right, along the columns and up the rows. The lowest position is furthest back on the z-axis. Red is '0' and blue is '1'
A red and blue pattern is shown on the white background.
The overlaps between adjacent positions (where the values are the same) are marked by diagonal connections along the z-axis, and reveal continuities and discontinuities between the layers of the grid for each bit position
