Ever wondered what a barcode sounds like? We did. This project begin with a late night of inspirational brainstorming and has progressed to become a cultural catalyst for members of a youth hip hop group in Malmo. Barcodes contain beats, music, and vocal tracks and when a barcode is scanned, sound is produced.
