rapidly #c - chain
2024
Over the past year I have been using street sweeper blades, to spell out a new binary/ascii message, which decoded reads:
rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable & sustainable future for all: IPCC 2023
This quote from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who in March of 2023 published their Sixth Assessment Report, I've used as the pattern generator for many new works. In this work, just the word 'rapidly' is used.
This work uses short and longer sweeper blade remnants as the 0's and 1's, to spell out the binary translated word.
