Description
'Barcode' is a series of works provoked by the methods and algorithms employed by various corporations to track footprints through cyberspace and analyse this accumulation of personal information [often freely given by the subject themselves] to assemble a specific profile, ostensibly to refine targeted marketing. If generated by a retail corporation, this may offer more or less meretricious commercial rewards; in the hands of those controlling state apparatus and financial interests, the consequences may be far less benevolent. These are ‘Cassandra’ paintings, railing against the development of a social system where each individual is reduced to a consumer unit, or worse, a saleable commodity; assigned a value with no more dignity than any other off the shelf product; reduced to a de-personalised barcode.”

Message from Seller:

White Court Art is based in Wales, U.K and was founded by Richard Veal after many years of collecting for himself. White Court Art specialise mainly in emerging British Contemporary Art, but we also high light artists from Europe, who we think have merit and deserve attention. We have a passion for tracking, sourcing and curating eclectic fine art from Master Copyists to Emerging European talent. We also offer decorative pieces that bring that “something else” to our gallery.
