Binary Art

I've been thinking a lot about the way that information is transferred and how that is changing modernly, and it got me marveling at the fact that digital media is composed, at its basest level, of just 1's and 0's. It is crazy to think that we can express ourselves through music or writing or art or videos, and it's all done with strings of 1's and 0's. Anyway, in tribute to digital media, I tried my hand at some binary art, using the cover for The Fountainhead as a foundation. I love this picture, especially how the light just seems to flow seamlessly into the image of the person, making him and the sun seem almost as if they are the same entity.
