ACCUMULATION PROJECT: BARCODES, 2005-2006

Accumulation Project

Barcodes that come into my life are saved for a year beginning September 1, 2005. These are recorded into a log book and the barcodes are placed in small bags and bound into a long book with an accordion spine. The spine color alternates between black and white for each month and after 12 months resembles a barcode. The book after a year is a total of 1076 pages. The project tracks my consumption and waste.

MEDIUM AND SIZE: Book arts. 28 feet long.
