A series of binary sequences were created by hand with pencil on squared paper and pinned to the wall with one sequence per column. Each of the 17 sheets in the first sequence was used as the instruction for a geometric drawing as explained under Binary Permissives. 

The sequences, drawings and film are visually influenced by Samuel Beckett's short play Quad, and by Sol LeWitt's Wall Paintings. The project is an attempt to translate the systematic into the visual in a direct and unmediated way. Thus once the simple, elementary colours and shapes (the building blocks of drawing) and their ordering had been chosen, no decisions took place throughout the making of the coloured drawings as I acted mechanically, following the dictation of the binary sequence. The film also explores the notion of systemacity as a disabling force: 17 moves take place, each one of which sees the interaction of three separate and unrelated systems, but at the end of it all we are left with nothing but a single red square.
