Reverse Abstraction, a series of artworks created in binary and hexadecimal code, explores how computers perceive art by representing it in their basic language of ones and zeros. The artist uses high-quality images from the Google Art Project to recreate master paintings in hexadecimal code and photoshops them onto canvas, resulting in an optical illusion that reveals the pixel code. A hexadecimal sculpture of Joseph Kosuth's "One and Three Chairs" is also created by recreating a 3D rendering of the chair in hexadecimal code, raising questions about the reality of the object. The project leverages the internet for collaboration, funding, and live streaming, highlighting its connective power.
