dec0de (2013)

Taking the form of a flag book, dec0de is an examination of binary oppositions encountered in my daily life, juxtaposed with binary language and QR codes, both of which are integral to technological systems. Instead of serving a computer language purpose, they have been re-contextualized, serving as aesthetic elements and patterns. Personal narrative comments are hidden behind the "flag" portions, examining whether I can decode, dismantle, demask meaning from imposed compartmentalizations.
