Barcode Poetry Barcode Poetry investigates the overlap of art and money by emulating a digital form of communication on a manual typewriter. These poems are generated with a 1940’s Remington Rand Deluxe Model 5 and consist of a 38-character line (including spaces) repeated fourteen times, plus a line of numerals corresponding to the width of each column, forming what is recognizable from afar as a barcode.
