The artwork’s 43 pages describe the progression from white towards black, through 256 shades of blue. Each of the shades is visualised by a graphic representation of its binary code by the means of a 8x8 grid. This 8x8 grid is also present in some of the ‘mosaique’ installations and is based on the hexadecimal logic. This is the expression of the combinatory of the binary system, which is also at the base of the chess play – hence the reference within the title deepBlue.
