General Notes

Note

The 19th-century mathematician George Boole created a symbolic language that became crucial for the development of electronic circuit boards and computer programming languages. Boolean algebra relies on only two variables, true or false, and uses only and, or or not as search operators. Here, Verostko uses his original artmaking technique to create an homage to the medium’s revered progenitor.
