QR Code Art



In the past, Scott Blake made composite portraits of people using barcodes. Now he's getting with the times and using QR codes instead. Pictured above is a portrait of radio show host Amy Goodman. Each one links to segments from her show over the past nine years.

Thanks for showing an interest in my Barcode Art.

I added the radial stripes to create an extra dimension to the portrait that mimics radio waves. Amy Goodman is the host of Democracy Now which is broadcast on Pacifica radio. You can also watch the show online democracynow.org

Amazing. Although I do not get the stripes either. He may have worked with a photo, where the light was shining through blankets. That would explain the whole thing! I would definitely like to see more of his works.

I have a lot of useless information crammed into my brain. There are times when I know a lot of the answers. I feel especially good when I know the final one and all 3 contestants do not. The reality is that if I was keeping count, I probably know less than 50% of the answers. If I ever tried and got on the show it would be my luck that categories like 13th Century Bulgarian Poetry would be on the board. I still watch a lot, especially when someone is on with 5 or more wins.

The earlier format, where the players could buzz in early, is quite a downer for me, the viewer. I haven't even fully understood the question yet. I wonder if they are more predicting that they might know the answer by the time the question finishes, than actually knowing the answer.
