Description:
This work is an exploration of geometric abstraction utilizing symbols, in this piece a specific asterisk from the Unicode Standard. Weaving color and bold black and whites into the asterisk form optically energizes the multi-layered asterisk composition. The code in the title, U+1F7BA, is the Unicode Standard designation of the asterisk symbol given the name "Extremely Heavy Six Spoked Asterisk" and is the symbol used in this piece. The Unicode Standard designates all symbols, giving them coding data that can be uniformly used in technology internationally. U+1F7BA is distinguished from other asterisks in the Unicode Standard by the thickness of its spokes versus more delicate asterisks in the code. using this symbol in an NFT from something of use in computer code, language, telecommunications and mathematics into the realm of geometric object is an expression of technology transformed to an aesthetic that speaks to the technological zeitgeist of our times.
