This is no.11 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Barcode Poems by Kyle Flemmer. This book contains 22 barcode poems and two printer’s summaries.

 

Kyle’s statement: “Riffing on company slogans, song lyrics, protest chants, and writing advice, Barcode Poems takes up the complicated relationship between art and commerce. Though made on a 1940 Remington Rand Deluxe Model 5 typewriter, these poems masquerade as the hallmark of digitized consumerism—barcodes—to playfully critique the paradox of creativity under capitalism. Each poem comprises a 38-space line repeated fourteen times and appended with a unique serial number representing the poem’s character quantity and order in the sequence.”

 

Please note: This is a selection from the 101-part, typewritten collection of a whole series of Flemmer’s barcode poems. Please support the “Barcode Poetry” Fundraising Campaign!
