Artist 6 - Scott Blake

 Scott Blake has taken advantage of the boring barcode image that we know and love and created art based upon the patterned code. Blake has truly turned the barcode into an art form, using it to create portraits of iconic pop culture figures like OJ Simpson, Charles Manson, Oprah and Jesus. He also creates barcode stencils that he calls ‘word paintings’, and barcode graffiti, like an image that simply says “Scott Blake was here."

 

His form of art is very inventive and interesting. My favorite part from the video above is the part when they scan the different barcodes that make up Elvis Presley's face. Its amazing how Blake was able to do that. I think that its very simple but unique idea that he had.
