This is some of the best vector art I have ever seen. Vector graphics, as the whole world knows, are graphics that, hum, have something to do with mathematical equations. In any event, go to Wikipedia here if you want to know more about vector graphics.
I don't know the name of the creator of this fabuloso work. But this much I can say: These digitalized renditions are freakin' amazing!
Scott Blake makes beautiful art using a strange medium:barcodes. Below, in no particular order, are the portraits of some famous and infamous people such as Oprah, Bruce Lee, O.J Simpson, Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Monroe, Charles Manson, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Mao Tse Tung, Elvis, Ozzie Osbourne and Governor Arnold. Lean back in your chair or take a step back for a better viewing experience.
There are also 3 fascinating videos showing how the barcode portraits work.
"Scott Blake takes barcodes and turns them into art - art that is simultaneously pop and op, intellectual and personal, minimal and ocular. Blake uses the black and white icon of our data-drenched existence to stimulate thought on topics from consumerism to religion and individual identity. He urges the viewer to consider the limitations of digitized human expression and to appropriate these symbols of commodity"(Scott Blake's website).
