Artist Statement for Scott Blake
|
|
|
My bar code art explores the process of making art with information and technology. As a computer artist I am in the business of selling 0's and 1's. The bar code represents automation, efficiency, and commodities. It is the universal icon for the computer revolution.
I started working on my first bar code portrait in 1998. Since then I have experimented with bar codes in many different forms, both on and off the computer. I have made videos, paintings, and gallery installations all based on bar codes. My bar code portraits have remained the main focus of this body of work. The people I choose to depict in my unique style of digital pointillism are very recognizable faces. I am interested in exposing what goes into the commercialization of individuals. My bar code portraits show what these people are made of.
