Scott Blake - Bar Code Art

UPC A/Bruce Lee/Movie DVDs


	`Watch Scanning Video Interface`You Tube or Quicktime

I premiered this print at the Bemis Center 'Fight for the Arts' kickboxing fundraiser, June 2007.

I used the barcodes from ten Bruce Lee movies to create this 8 foot portrait of the Chinese martial artist. The mosaic tiles are arranged in a zig-zag pattern to break focus like a shockwave from a punch.

I also made video interface to scan each barcode on the Bruce Lee face, and a computer plays short fight clip from that movie.
