Ethical Bits — System and Series

Marek Kijewski

Date
from c. 2000

Ethical Bits is a system of elementary forms developed by Marek Kijewski from around 2000. Cubic and T-shaped modules were used to construct spatial objects, gates and compositions on a plane.

The system combines computing, numerology, Suprematism and colour symbolism. Blue represents spirit, red matter and gold energy.

The gates bore titles including Heaven Gates, Hell Gates, Papa Gates, Bill Gates and Golden Gates. The cycle was presented at the GATES@PL exhibition in 2001.
