Memory in Bits from 2006

This work is a generative software installation by Stanza, using bespoke code to manipulate images from networked sources and produce interconnected visual compositions. Designed for presentation as a triptych across three large screens, with each panel displaying a different variation of the code.

The title refers to both fragments of human memory and the fundamental units of digital information. A bit, the smallest unit of computer data, has a binary value of either 0 or 1. Memory involves the encoding, storage and retrieval of information. The work brings these concepts together, exploring how images and information are captured, fragmented, processed and reconstructed by technological systems.

Format: Generative software installation.

Resolution: 1920 × 1080.
