bit.code
Mechanical installation from 2009 is a physical 1-bit glitch display - video embedded below:
BIT.CODE plays with the re-encoding of information and the recognizability of signs. It works with the infinite possibilities for combination of a finite number of bits, the smallest units of information.
The bits appear as black and white elements on the individual segments of the string. Each string is coded with the same bit pattern, which is reminiscent of Morse code. If the strings are moved in parallel, words seemingly appear (for a certain period of time) from ‘out of nowhere’ and disappear again. The perceived information causes a short opportunity for pause, a moment of serenity, of clarity – before the incessant flow of constellations, motions and changes starts anew.
Mickalene Thomas, Interior: Monet’s Blue Foyer, 2012, rhinestones, acrylic, oil, and enamel on wood panel.
Mickalene Thomas, as she was inspired by her residency in Monet’s house in France. Collage + Painting. Painting is probably 15+ feet wide. Seeing this show at Lehmann Maupin was really amazing. These pieces translate entirely differently in person (largely due to the rhinestones). In the LM installation shot, this painting is on the right wall (not really seen).
