Bit Transformation

Bit Transformation is an early investigation into the fragility and degradation of data. Created by processing the ASCII values of the characters in the first statement ("To be, or not to be: that is the question:") into binary, removing symbolic "bits," and retranslating the binary back into ASCII Text.

Bit Transformation consists of 194 images projected and presented sequentially from a DVD.
