$100 from each sale will be donated to WYSO 91.3, the Yellow Springs NPR affiliate, in support of the important community and reporting work the station produces every day.
Art description: A physical embodiment of early computation, these cards translated human logic into perforated patterns readable by machines. Each hole encoded instruction, turning abstract reasoning into something tactile, sortable, and stackable. Entire programs existed as decks, vulnerable to disorder, one misplaced card or bent corner could end in disaster, literally. Their materiality made computation visible and fragile, grounding digital processes in physical form. They stand as an inflection point where thought became mechanized, and information first took on weight, edges, and the possibility of accidental erasure.
Print runs for this exhibit are limited to 5 each, hand-signed, numbered, and stamp-authenticated by the artist. Works are printed on 13”x19” or 19”x13” 100% cotton rag with deckled and torn edges, using a 6-color, high resolution inkjet process. Print is mailed in a protective mailing tube, and comes with an identification tag as presented during the exhibit. Shipping and sales tax included in print price. Image shown at left is from original digital file, not from actual print.
