I'm so stupid, I'm holding the print upside down. So the green bar should be on the right. Oh well...

Motivation : I'm an artist. I love art. Even if I live in Canada, I read the Guardian. I find their Art and Design section quite interesting. So I read the paper that morning, saw the link and clicked on it for the fun of it. And here's my print.

Moved to London… fell in love with the city, fell in love with a girl and developed an addiction to The Guardian. No longer in the city, still in love with the girl and get my fix from The Guardian online. Saw link, clicked on link, won a Keith Tyson print.

Please find attached a picture of the history painting I have. It's against a background of my name encoded as an "EAN 128 Mode B" barcode. So it's sort of me holding the picture, right? (I will get it printed over xmas hol's, but wanted to send this, not a photo)

I wanted to get a history painting because I am the sort of glutton for idiocy that will take some free interactive art, try to flog it on ebay, then slag off its originator online when I can't figure out why no-one's biting. Not really. I quite like encoded things - names, locations, etc.

Motivation: Via link on the Guardian website. Seemed like an interesting method of producing and distributing art. I thought it would be interesting to be a part of it; to view [as an 'insider', I
suppose] how it progressed. I confess I'm not much of an art connoisseur, but I am interested in the interconnectedness of the World...

About myself: A scientist (radiochemist, should it matter), by profession, studying for my PhD in Amsterdam, having moved recently from London. Originally hailing from that town of mirrors and roundabouts, Milton Keynes. Um... mid-twenties; I own a solar-powered watch and a Tilley hat, in addition to the Tyson print. The day after the print 'competition' was the departmental poker tournament; I came last, but being one of the 5000 was some consolation. Marmite: love.
