What to Keep, What to Lose, Shaheer Tarar
“The image-making process is always an act of compression—deciding what parts of a subject to keep, and what to shave away. These choices aren’t just technical; they’re questions of abstraction, judgment, and value.”
all software is built on binary logic:
1 = on, 0 = off
a bit is a unit with two states
a byte is a collection of 8 bits
each byte corresponds to a character (such as a letter, number)
a color value can be stored in a byte as a range between 0-255
data storage relies on electronical conductivity
a transistor is a packaged semiconductor
a microchip is formed of billions of transistors
binary data can be converted into light
optical fibers transport light
a fiber-optic cable consists of optical fibers wrapped in layers of insulation
fiber-optic cables transmit data using light pulses
each bit is converted to a light pulse
