I submitted the following proposal:

My name is Scott Blake and I would like to apply to the New Genre Art Festival. PDF attached to this email. I have created several net art projects inspired by barcodes, pixels, and time.

Barcode Portraits with interactive scanning interfaces.

Barcode Counter tracks every visitor to my website in real-time.

Downloading Pixels captures the flow of data transmission using animated GIF files.

Every Barcode animation takes 300 years to count through the entire UPC database.
