47 Barcode Cinema
Barcode Cinema is a collaborative project of Kristin Lucas and Lee Montgomery.
Lucas and Montgomery will travel to the geographic locations of several geotagged images in the vicinity of Conflux Festival and physically tag each site with custom designed 2D barcode stickers. With the use of a web-enabled camera phone and a free downloadable application that turns a mobile phone into a barcode scanner, festival goers can interact with barcode stickers at Barcode Cinema sites to access locative media: image sonifications of geotagged images will be broadcast at locations Lucas and Montgomery have discovered from their own research of the communal landscape constructed by Google, Flicker and Picasa, among others. Users will hear a sonic interpretation of the surveiled imagery of the space they have accessed.
