Musee Journee (Louvre Ticket #4) David Lewis Baker
One of a series of Bar Code conceptual pieces. This one is based a ticket I used to see parts of the Louvre and I have inserted into the bar code the word art - Miro style. I have also added an air of superreality and fauvist colour to the ticket. The ticket records an 'art experience', including the place and date, although it is invariably disguarded while the memory of the visit is retained. In this case the ticket has become the main record of the visit, and a work of art itself, thus retaining its original link to the art and my life. Finally the bar code sequence itself is also the only means to gain entry the museum and also allows the museum to track me and my visit.
