What they did was to get hold of some of their favorite movies (I am assuming the movies in the list are their favorites, of course) and then compressed all the images. The result? Very interesting images. Think color spectrums. Think seeing hours of movies compressed into one collage of colors. Granted, these barcodes are NOT barcodes in the strictest sense, but you’ll get the idea when you see the gallery below.

Here are 12 of the most interesting movie barcodes I found in their site. Here’s a challenge for movie geeks out there – do you think you can identify the movies just by looking at the barcode? On the other hand, if you don’t feel like taking up the challenge and just want to know what movie each barcode stands for – you know you want to! – check the list at the bottom of this post. The movie titles are presented in the same order as the images in the gallery.

I don’t know about you, but it is interesting to see how many movies seem to make use of very few colors. Take for example movie barcode number 5. It is predominantly shades of brown and black. Then again, I have been called colorblind! ;)

You can purchase prints of these movie barcodes Red Bubble.

Japanese tombstone maker, Ishinokoe has developed a new tombstone that will contain a scanable bar-code behind a lockable door on the tombstones, allowing family members and friends to scan them with their mobile phones.
This is a modern interpretation from the ancient Egypt belief in providing Pharaohs with their treasure for the trip in to afterlife.

The thombstones will be equipped with a barcode, which people can read with their mobile phone and then _interact_ with their beloved in scrapbook alike style, posting or viewing memories, photos from the past.

I must admit it all sounds very vague, to me at least, and possibly even boring, but imagine having a grave with a barcode and future possible usages!

I so would let people challenge my best lap times in Race Driver: Grid. They could even see how my ghost leaves them behind.

Wicked, finally thought of a cool use for ghost lap times!
