Dariuz Boron uses the technology of the bar code reader as a tool totranslate and change the significance of information. Viewers are asked to use a bar code reader to reveal information stored within the lines. The standard use of a bar code is to record how much something costs, track a parcel shipment or as in the case of a library card it stores the history of the user. The bar code is used in this show to translate the Art itself.
