"Barcodes are physical representations of numerical data, consisting of bars and spaces of varying width, made up of empty and full, everything and nothing… Let’s not forget that, above all else, it identifies a product by giving it a code. Yes, this symbolic little something-or-other symbolises a product as being made here, sold there, money, gain, capitalism, exploitation, globalisation but also identity and uniqueness. For sale, therefore also purchasable.
In this series, the barcode is seen as a simple visual... a cold and mathematical thing crying out for rerouting; crying out for a merrier and kinder life… crying out for some poetry!"
Berlewen Jolixor
