Barcoded Earth
Barcoded Earth, conceptual image. The barcode may represent a variety of concepts, like the placing of commercial interests above global environmental or human welfare issues. It could also represent global consumerism, like shopping on the internet. A barcode is a series of printed lines of varying thickness. Each line corresponds to a number, seen printed below the barcode. The barcode number can be read using a barcode scanner, or manually typed out. The number is used to identify a product

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Barcoded Earth - A Powerful Symbol of Global Issues and Consumerism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This thought-provoking print titled "Barcoded Earth" captures the essence of various concepts that resonate with our modern world. The image portrays our planet, the very symbol of life and interconnectedness, transformed into a barcode. This transformation raises questions about the prioritization of commercial interests over global environmental or human welfare issues. The barcode's significance extends beyond its representation as a mere shopping tool used on the internet; it serves as a metaphor for global consumerism itself. Each line in this intricately designed barcode corresponds to a number, which can be scanned or manually typed out to identify products. In this context, it becomes an unsettling reminder of how our society often reduces complex issues to simple numerical values. By juxtaposing these two seemingly disparate elements - the earth and the barcode - this conceptual image challenges us to reflect on our role as consumers within a rapidly changing world. It urges us to consider whether we are placing materialistic desires above more pressing concerns such as sustainability and social justice. As we gaze upon this artwork, let us not forget that behind every product lies an intricate web connecting people, places, and resources from all corners of the globe. It is through understanding these connections that we can begin to address the profound challenges facing humanity today. (Photo by Science Photo Library)
