Uno the Integer

Ward Cunningham

Description: "Uno the Integer" is algorithmic art minimally realized as two electronic components: a small computer and an led matrix. The work explores the human tendency to see life where it does not exist and to attribute to that life the will of an individual even when that is clearly not the case. Uno's name and the accompanying material goes on to suggest that the mathematical concept of integer might be similarly misinformed. The work is to be suspended from a high shelf to appear at eye level. A second computer, a mac mini or plug computer at shelf level, provides power and data to the work over a single usb cable.
