This image describe about human life number when they gave you our born. For example "My bar code portraits explore the process of making art with technology. As a computer artist, I am in the business of selling pixels. The bar code represents technology, efficiency, and commodities. It is the universal icon for the computer revolution.Two artists that have influenced my work are Chuck Close and Roy Lichtenstein. Chuck Close's process of building a painting one block at a time encouraged me to work on my designer pixels. Roy Lichtenstein's examination of Benday dots opened my eyes to the science of half- tone printing."It describe about human life style. "But unlike Pop Art, he used barcodes as a tool and image, such as his portraits which were made entirely from bar codes. Blake had started this project around the time of the Y2K bug craze and the turn of the millennium. Around this time, there was a craze with barcode style artworks and designs. It is unclear whether Scott Blake had direct input on this popularized phenomena."
