bar code art

By Jeremy

I came across the Art Lebedev the other day, an anarchic Russian design collective with a nice anti-capitalist streak. Their logo is a bar code, and they find all sorts of ways of sneaking it in to places, which makes an interesting statement about commodification.

These and dozens of others are in their little online gallery here.

- Write to your MEP about mining transparency
  A few weeks ago I wrote about Tearfund’s Unearth the Truth campaign, which calls for transparency in the extractive industries in developing countries. Unless mining companies are forced to disclose how much they pay for mining rights, people have no way to keep the government accountable. Revenues from mining or drilling can vanish, and local [...]
