Beauty Is in the Eye of the Debugger #3 (2024)

Описание: A debugger (or debugging tool) is a computer program used to test and make sure there’s no bug / error in another programs. The main use of a debugger is to run the target program under controlled condition so the programmer (human) can track its operation in progress that may indicate any malfunctioning code.
Since early 2020 my work has been involved with creating customize program using basic coding language, while also implementing various sensory devices into the work. This practice makes me wonder how sensory devices work in machine or computer, and how similar it can be compared to sense in human body. Examining that machine, computer, and artificial intelligence has possibilities to have its own way of thinking and feeling.
This art work is an interactive work where audiences can directly affect its final output. These visual is based from data that captured by camera module and processed in real-time. At some degree, it can be said that this visual is how a computer view and perceived image in front of it.
What computer “see” can be described as an array of pixel, each pixel contains specific information of red, green, and blue value or usually be simplified to a hexadecimal code (numerical system with 16 symbols as its base, widely used for computer code along with binary and decimal). From “darkest” image which translated as black pixel and represented with #000000 hex code, to the “brightest” which translated as white pixel and represented with #FFFFFF hex code.
This linear value of data then presented as a graphical image, creating a visual that actually represent reality for machine and computer, but also can be perceived differently by human audiences.
