Following in the footsteps of classic authors such as Gil J. Wolman, Peter Kubelka or Tony Conrad, who worked with alternating white frames (transparent) with black (opaque) in the 50’s & 60’s (last Century). With this series, which starts with the basics of ‘cinema’ -the light and no light-, even pretend to step over that line of work metric, structuralist, conceptual or references to flicker, etc. But with the addition that fits into a new context, with new technologies, in which his -structure- content of the pattern obtained by its own title that generates your personal QR CODE (Quick Response Code), what would be the ‘New Barcode’. The original work is in 16mm film, you can enjoy both its projection (through devices that are found in almost all users, as SmartPhones, Tablets, etc.) and the classic dark room or as object-inert work, which is none other than the provision of 16mm filmstrips vertically placed one beside the other, encased in between two transparent Plexiglass plates.
