Barcode Mail Art

Barcodes. They are everywhere, but surprisingly not used that often in mail art. 

When I received this piece of Barcode mail art (named 'Variation on a barcode Op. 99') thanks to Dean, Artist in Seine, I wanted to post it in the IUOMA Barcode Mail Art group. However... I couldn't find any Barcode group!.. That's why and how this group started here.

You can post your received or sent Barcode Mail Art here if you wish, too.

Update 11 February 2016: Also colour test print art is welcomed!

I saw this I saw this on Brooke Cooks page and stole it to put it here.  This is a good use of a barcode.  Love it.

used to play with barcodes and barcode readers 10 years ago.  So they are widely useable........ Nowadays the scanners have taken over and there are new ways to communicate digitally......

Thank you, Ruud! Didn't know that site (and didn't know that barcodes aren't used for numbers only :-) )
