Der QR-Code (e: Quick Response) ist ein zweidimensionaler Code, der von der japanischen Firma Denso Wave im Jahr 1994
entwickelt wurde. Viele Mobiltelefone verfügen über eine eingebaute Kamera und Apps, die sowohl das Codieren wie das Interpretieren
von QR-Codes ermöglichen. Art work (left): QR Codes for Digital Nomads by Golan Levin and Asa Foster III, for F.A.T. Lab, 2011.

Daniel Knorr, Awake Asleep, 2008 (oben: 2 Versionen des Werks)
The work is a continuous communication with the public and consists of switching on and off an electronic device (e.g. LED, a lightbox,
a lightning space or a light commercial) through the internet or just by the information given by myself when I wake up or go to bed for the
duration of my entire life. Awake = the light is put on, Asleep = the light is put out. The work has as a basis the idea of “materialization“ of
human (artist) existence in public and private spaces using the “logics“ or “basics“ of communication with electronic devices or artificial
environments, namely the first step into the representation system: I and 0 ?

| Kamel Makhloufi, wikileaks iraq war logs, 2010 Kamel Makhloufi developed a simple but powerful pixel diagram [flickr.com] that highlights the past human death toll during the Iraq war. Each pixel has a color, where blue stands for "friendly", green represents "host", orange are "civilians" and grey denotes "enemies". The left diagram is ordered by category, whereas the right one lists the casualties by time.
