Τι είναι το Binary Talk; At the beginning of the 20th century, people simply communicated with each other over the airwaves. As the century closed, ideas for new transmissions began to emerge. Below you will see an unusual approach to visualizing wireless world: Communication from one computer to another using smoke rings.
Binary Talk was created by Niklas Isselburg and Jakob Kilian, students at the Köln International School of Design. The idea is simple. They type in a phrase and the computer converts it to binary code. A loudspeaker sends the message through a cloud of fog, making each “1” like a ring. The rings can "fly" a few meters, and hit the laser catcher, which is on the second computer. In this way the smoke rings are translated into the original text.
By making the broadcasts visible, Isselburg and Kilian hope to demonstrate the "seemingly intangible and infallible nature of computer language." Simply put, Binary Talk was created to remind us of the huge data exchange that takes place between us every day. If we could see in the streets the pipelines and power and communication lines that connect us we could see what kind of world we built. Ghost infrastructure today is very difficult to distinguish.
