2,496 pieces of "binary code" that I hand-cut from thousands of handwritten reflections
"In his book about the future (in this case, now our past), Stanislaw Lem said that from the end of the 1980s, it was shown to be a technical necessity to give the machines periods of rest during which, free from 'programming instructions,' they could fall to 'babbling' and 'random shuffling,' and, thanks to this erratic activity, regenerate their capacity... I asked myself if it might be the case that, in the creative field, we had found ourselves in a period of repose born out of technical necessity, a period from which we would all emerge more than revived. So why so much ominous chatter? Was it so infuriating to live in a time of 'babble'? Perhaps we were in a moment in which we were recovering speech." - The Illogic of Kassel by Enrique Vila-Matas
