POEME BINAIRE
(BINARY POEM)
DEAL WITH IT series
In this seventh and final drawing in the series, 2 bits - a binary unit in the language of numbers - are equivalent to 1 week of statistical life expectancy. Behind each byte - set of 8 bits - stands an alphanumeric character.
The FAIRE FACE / DEAL WITH IT series sets a temporal representation on the scale of a lifetime, where each week lived is transcribed into a motif, until a global and quantifiable image of our own life expectancy* is drawn.
* 83.3 years for men and women combined, according to INSEE (FR) in 2022.
