BARKODE

digital technology - archives - audiovisual - sound - analytical

Barkode works from a great interest in the functioning of systems and the influence of time. Systems that investigate, uncover and provide meaning and order to a particular balance or imbalance. These studies try to focus on (re)defining existential values and tell micro-stories from a fragmented world.

Within the artistic process Barkode builds and designs databases, analogue archives, encyclopaedias and personal diaries. These collections form a basis from which the work arises in editing or live presentation, mostly performances.

Since 1998, Barkode Studio has been developing media art such as audio and video performances, films and video artworks, installations, sound artworks, music compositions, radio and podcasts. Barkode Studio curates and produces interdisciplinary art and culture programs for festivals, museums and venues.
