Set 010 "1/0" ↓ https://t.co/EjW64oHZzv
Note: jack butcher yin yang xandao
@opepenedition some context for this set firstly, 10 is a special number, first double digit, and somewhat of a neat closing of the first chapter (in my mind anyway) "1/0" is an obvious reference to the underpinnings of the technology that gather us here today (View Tweet)
@opepenedition 10 is also a special reference to the beginnings of my pursuit of digital art - "V+V" (a creative interpretation of roman numerals) for @visualizevalue also, an almost entirely binary visual approach, black and white, on or off, light or dark https://t.co/S3zKxLDRhc (View Tweet)
@opepenedition @visualizevalue I was about 80%~ done with a set that directly referenced the original vv aesthetic and the ideas it aims to convey, but something about it wasn't quite right
@opepenedition @visualizevalue maybe the idea of "going backwards" was preventing us from hitting the publish button on this, either way - many other ways I can think of it to live on so i'm going to sleep last night, and the spotify algorithm serves me up this talk https://t.co/GyDRRpGYTs (View Tweet)
@opepenedition @visualizevalue I should clarify that I am fully aware that the "VV" set above probably resonates faster (aesthetically) with the majority of people than where we ended up, but I will explain why the direction we chose feels like a stronger long term contribution to the collection (View Tweet)
@opepenedition @visualizevalue if you have time to throw on the talk above, you won't need to read any more of this thread (View Tweet)
@opepenedition @visualizevalue if you don't, I will try and convey the themes in a far less articulate manner the binary system that makes up the entire underpinnings of the digital environment we exist in has its conceptual roots in literature from thousands of years ago yin and yang yes and no on and off (View Tweet)
@opepenedition @visualizevalue this quote directly informs the visual approach: "you cannot have more yang than yin" each edition balances light on a scale of 0 to 1, with each extreme perfectly inverting the other 100/0 80/20 60/40 40/60 20/80 0/100
there is also an undeniable thread from @jalil_eth's masterful set 009 "unity" surfaced below by @n0tstradamus https://t.co/2r9foxOJDI (View Tweet)
