This piece was started by @grthink when he came over a few weeks ago. For those of you who don't know, @grthink was the person who introduced me to mailart in the first place nearly 2 years ago, and the ghosts are one of his recurring characters.
When asked to do a piece on the spot, he whipped out a couplpe of ghosts, and left them to me to finish.
I didn't want anything too complicated, but wanted an effect that would enhance the figures. I decided on binary as I'm a little obsessed with 1s and 0s at the moment.
When I translated "Ghosts in the Machine" to binary I got this. At first I tried to write it all as it was. If you put this into your binary translator though, I imagine that you won't get "Ghost in the Machine, Mailart365 by Andytgeezer" as I intended as the 1s and 0s started to blur in front of my eyes.
