About the Featured Artist:

Ashley Zelinskie is an Brooklyn-based artist born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and recent graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Her 2011 work, Reverse Abstraction, is a series of works created in binary and hexadecimal code. These codes are the basis of a computer’s language. The ones and zeros stand for the processors most basic functions of on and off. The works in this series are taking the idea that this is how a computer would perceive art. The hexadecimal paintings included in this series are reproductions of master paintings. High quality images are taken from Google Art project and broken down into their basic hexadecimal code. The finished product leaves the viewer with a buzzing optical illusion that upon close inspection is the one pixel code that describes how a computer interprets art.
