Blow Life is reminiscent of a fortune telling machine often found at funfairs. With their hand, participants have to cover a hand image in front of a computer screen to activate an electric fan mounted next to the screen. The airflow of the fan then moves an on-screen barcode like 'grass in the wind'. After a few seconds the fan stops by itself and the participants receive their own 'lucky number' encrypted into a new, randomly generated barcode. The exhibit playfully addresses the threatening notion of an Orwellian world where an individual’s identity is reduced to a barcode number.
