Today I've been looking into hex editors. They allow you to view and edit the binary data that makes up a file, rather then the interpretation of that file by an application. In a sense, then, they allow you to see the purest, most basic form of a programme - the raw data.

As this is what my project is trying to visualise, within the 'imagination' of the the computer, it makes sense to use this data. I am trying to show how the computer could 'think' or 'create' and I like the idea that the project could be recursive - an image of itself; an image of code built using code.

The project aims to deconstruct the code, to interpret it in a different way, or to re-imagine it.
