I wanted to participate for the first time within the crazy tuesday themebased group - but i failed by too much work.Theme has been #spoonreflections and i wanted to share this image for it. So here it is - kinda late but i do not mind to share it with you anyways.
Thank you for your visits, comments and favs!

this is my contribution for Max Kuiper's latest publication, Nuit & Noirs 3, Sacred Language.
For this issue, the contributors were asked to respond on this quote of Antonin Artaud:
“I am adding another language to the spoken language,
and I am trying to restore to the language of speech its old magic,
its essential spellbinding power,
for its mysterious possibilities have been forgotten.”
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Binary. On 10/10, it's all about the ones and zeros. HMMM!
Let's do it again

I will need to explain this one as none of this looks like a number nine and neither is there nine items in the photo.
I got into computers quite a few years ago just for fun and learnt a bit of COBOL/Machine code programming and how to use them. So for this theme I had the idea of representing the number nine in a binary way.
For this I didn't really want to photograph writing on a piece of paper and after a while I came up with the idea of showing the binary 1's and 0's using nuts.
As a basic explanation computers understand only 1's and 0's, on and off. The more of these that are grouped together the more powerful the computer. There are 8 nuts in the photo and each nut represents a bit. The whole setup represents a byte.
Starting from the very right the value of the bit is 1. If the bit is turned on then this is added to the whole value of the byte. The next one to the left would be a value of 2. The one to the left of that is a value of 4. Each bit has a value of double the one to the right of it. So the value of bits in a byte are from the left - 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1.
In the photo the nuts that are facing the camera are representing a 0 and the ones turned sideways are representing 1.
So from the left 128 = 0, 64 = 0, 32 = 0, 16 = 0, 8 = 1, 4 = 0, 2 = 0 and 1 = 1. So here 8 plus 1 is equal to 9.
I used the smallest nuts that would fit in the photo and the whole setup is 7cm across.
I did do a version with an extra nut in the frame just in case this is not deemed valid.
Converted to Black and White as there was no colour in the photo anyway.
I couldn't resist and used f/9 as the aperture.
First stop on Chihuly installation at Fairchild Gardens in Miami, FL.
Binary stars are rarities in the universe (relatively speaking), and the communication of light from our Sun to this glass vision, this 'sole del citron', suggested this cosmological interlinking, at least as far as I'm concerned. You can almost sense the response from this fantastic glass sun-that-fell-to-Earth with its counterpart in the heavens.
I could have spent my day with this piece, but there was so much more to witness!
More to come …

p.s. this is one of those images that remind me that photography really is an art. if i had to categorize this particular image, i would call it a study. if i get the opportunity to return (before the installation is removed at the end of may,) i'll shoot this much differently i think. same angle … just much differently. ltp
