Free Biennial

Last year at the Free Biennial in New York, Barcode artist Peter Coffin put together a terrific piece of culture jamming that if you haven't yet checked out, you should. The jist of the project is that you download the barcode stickers for free at the Free Biennial website, then print them out onto standard sticker labels and apply them to consumer products in the market. The cash register scanner during check out reads a four letter word (have, take, give, want, lose, need) from the barcode instead of the price."

For more Barcode Art, check out Scott Blake's amazing Barcode art website. Don't forget to barcode yourself.
