Barcode Beats
Barcode Beats – A project of the Malmo New Media Lab the Barcode Beats project converts barcodes into music. The project is developed in collaboration with the hip hop crew/movement ‘RGRA’ and focusses on the potential for remixing, repurposing and mashing of remix and hip hop cultures for transforming or layering urban space. While it seem the initial prototype was a shopping trolley bound bar code scanner connected to a computer for immediate playback of the synthesised sound the project outlines the potential Barcodes afford for ‘attaching’ sounds to and object as a means of marking and repurposing commercial spaces and objects.
