The First Binary Letter –

I mentioned in my previous blogpost called ‘Mobile Designs’ that I wanted to base my proposed mobile on binary code that actually represented something.  I already have a short 3 word sentence in mind, that will link to the whole of the project.

Today I experimented with more timings and I managed to produce what will be the first of 11 binary code letters making up the mobile. There will be 13 lines of binary code in total.  These lines will comprise 3 words and two spaces between the words.

I’ll not reveal the full sentence at this stage – firstly because it may be subject to change and also because I thought a deliberately slow reveal might make things a little more interesting.

Please see below for the time-lapse of today’s making session. I can reveal that I now have enough binary characters to make the first letter in my binary code sentence.  It is the letter U.

Making the First Letter

U – The First Letter in Binary

Below is an image of the first line of binary code made using pieces of the mobile. This line of code makes up the first letter of a hidden sentence. The letter is U.

I know that I have a mountain to climb to produce the mobile.  I have a 104 units to produce to make the sentence. It’s not the making that is bothering me so much, rather, how on earth I am going to hang it, indeed safely hang it!
