It’s a bit scary how almost all cultural progress of the human kind can be reduced to a few simple codes. How from a basic idea always a whole cosmos of options unfolds, and therefore the need of regulations for restrictions.
The mental codes series depicts colorful codes comprised of exactly four letters from the western latin alphabet in pixel font aesthetics. Each work uses the code to pinpoint at and thus linking and summarizing a whole realm of ideas behind it.
The works 01 to 08 pay tribute to a few chosen belief systems – ranging from mythological, through religious and philosophical to political and post-modern. The works are framed digital prints with an transparent acrylic coating.
