Nobody will remember you

by Dario Mekler

A sparrow flying leaving some feathers behind and inside them, red tigers.

Inside the sparrow a guitar player by a burning tree, wild animals get closer to hear his tunes.

An album cover I did last year for Matias Segal alias "El Chingolo". The assignment was an image that could be converted into three covers by zooming in.

Paradox Hotel

by Darío Mekler

A free depiction of Hilbert´s infinite hotel paradox

"It is demonstrated that a fully occupied hotel with infinitely many rooms may still accommodate additional guests, even infinitely many of them, and this process may be repeated infinitely often."

Levels of Abstraction

by Dario Mekler

The Code Monster Manual Vol. 0

An illustration part of a series I did last year for a really creative book about how coding and computers work. Coming up with graphic metaphors for these concepts was quite a challenge. I had a blast thinking of them with the book author, Kevin Focke.

This one shows the different stratification of levels that separate us from the languages that rule the essence of computing.

We see a landscape , that landscape abstracts into a map, the map into pixels, the pixels into binary, the binary into hardware. If the book interests you, you can buy it in here in ebook format: https://kevinfocke.com/projects/wildly-creative-books/the-code-monster-manual-vol-0/

Let sleeping dogs lie

by Dario Mekler

The Code Monster Manual Vol. 0

"Computers are monsters because they think different than us. The book provides a creative overview of the most useful coding concepts. You don’t need to be a math wizard to understand these ideas."

An illustration part of a series I did last year for a really creative book about how coding and computers work. Coming up with graphic metaphors for these concepts was quite a challenge. I had a blast thinking of them with the book author, Kevin Focke.

This one in particular, more or less, graphics the computer as the multiple headed monster while we, mere mortals, cant even see or understand what goes inside the hardware. The dogs are pieces of code that enter the houses providing different configurations.

The technique is completely digital.
