Description
//**Code_me_UP investigates the role of the code in the meaning construction and the forms of visibility mediated by mobile communication devices.

In the exhibition space, the audience can capture pictures with cell phones with camera and send them to large screens via bluetooth where they are transformed into mobile matrixes that can be managed by keyboard and mouse commands, acquiring variable movement and density.

Those matrixes are the result of algorithmic manipulation performed by a program that operates by converting the RGB color numeric values in height measures.
