Binary Code Works
Binary Code Series
The Binary Code Series features a collection of paintings with binary code messages.
It occurred to me that binary code is the new universal language. Every text we send, every news article we read online is in binary code. People in virtually every nation now communicates and gets information online. We are all communicating with binary code. On another line f thought, Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhists believe that the messages printed on their prayer flags are carried indefinitely by the wind. I believe the same about works of art; the intention put into a work of art continues to emanate from the painting. With these two seemingly unrelated thoughts in mind, Leslie decided to create a series of positive messages in binary code that people long to and deserve to hear. Each piece is entitled with the translation of the binary code message in the paining. Works include:
“you are beautiful”
“I love you”
“You are extraordinary”
“You Got This”
and more.

“Jazz and Traffic”:
36 x 48 mixed media on wood panel
This soundwave is taken from the Miles Davis Song Night in Tunisia. I spent over an hour trying to get a clean sample of the music. At that time, my studio was next to a busy intersection and it was a very heavy traffic day. Cars and trucks were gong by constantly. My patience was gone and I was cussing up a storm when I realized what was happeing. The jass and traffic soundwaves were combining to create a skyline. In this sample, a car, motorcycle and truck rumbled by, interweaving with Miles’ trumpet. I was shocked then elated.

“Wind Vision”
48 x 36 mixed media on wood panel
This is a soundwave taken from an experimental wind instrument called the Windrose created by my dear friend Kehren Barbour and her Husband Michael. They strung long strands of filament between a piano harp that had been removed from a decommissioned piano and turned on its side and a functioning piano. As the wind blew through the filament a high pitched, eerie and beautiful song arose. A composer played along with this wind song and a beautiful melody arose. This sample is just the wind and the decommissioned harp.
