Zero (0) and one (1) are digits used by computers to represent all data. Information is processed into sequences of zeroes and ones, as part of what is called binary notation.
In philosophy and spirituality, those same two numbers – zero and one – signify eternity. Zero represents infinity, a continuous loop with no beginning and no end; one is the primary, original number that all other numbers flow out of.
In her “Cursive Binary” series, Sasha Stiles spells texts and poems using zeroes and ones, evoking infinity and eternity in her art practice.
