ÿ body - silver pin
Body/Politic is a series of jewels where the medium is part of the message. The two-toned grids of pixels represent lines of binary code. Each piece literally spells out a message on the body of the wearer; readable to those who can interpret binary, the language that is the foundation of our digital culture. The message is the encoded title of the work.
Each of the colours denotes the 1’s and the other the 0’s in a line of binary-to-ASCII code. Deciphered, the code spells out the title of the work, as a covert message
