Reverse Abstraction is a series of artworks created using binary and hexadecimal codes, which form the basis of computer languages. These codes represent basic functions like "on" and "off". The works explore how a computer perceives art by reversing its abstraction process. High-quality images from Google Art Project are converted into their hexadecimal code and then photoshopped onto canvases, creating optical illusions. A 3D rendering of Kosuth's "One and Three Chair" is also recreated using hexadecimal code, raising questions about reality. The project utilizes internet connectivity for collaboration and funding through Kickstarter. It engages viewers through live fabrication streaming on Ustream and social media updates.
