Binary Code

Concept three -  Binary Coding
The third concept explores the ideas around binary coding and creating a design that concentrates on the connection between binary as a by-product of the computer which is linked to the initial concept of machines. 

Binary code
 is the system of representing text or computer processor instructions by the use of a two digit number system. This system is composed of only the number zero, representing the off state, and the number one, representing on state, combined in groups of 8. These groups of 8 bits can represent up to 256 different values and can correspond to a variety of different symbols, letters or instructions. An example of this is the uppercase A, which in ASCII binary is 01000001. wiki
