A binary code "tapestry"

I visited the Burrell Collection today and came across this.  They have a number of more traditional historic tapestries there, and as part of a 3 year project involving the tapestries, artists have come up with some new "tapestries" which are on display.

This one involved timing how long visitors stopped to look at a tapestry, then converting those times into binary and writing them on the long stretch of windows overlooking woodland.

I find binary very soothing to look at.

Wow; I would love to have a window like that! I like it when numbers are used for decoration in a classy but creative way.
