Many say that I have invented a new medium in art. My art can be reproduced on canvas or just about any flat surface. This I believe is heirloom worthy. As art it can be held, sold and handed down. I have hundreds of designs on my facebook page "Microsoft Tag Master" and some cool examples of a line of greeting cards at my other site car2ds.com there are also two of my Tags on the homepage of tag.microsoft.com. I hope you find my work interesting. I am excited to think that my art might be hanging on a wall and still function in several hundred years... d Hello, I create the planets most extreme 2D barcodes I use the Microsoft Tag as my palette.

]]> Comment on The future of looking back – now in paperback. by Victoria Moore http://www.richardbanks.com/2011/09/28/the-future-of-looking-back-now-in-paperback/comment-page-1/#comment-328046 Victoria Moore Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:53:46 +0000 http://www.richardbanks.com/?p=2303#comment-328046 Richard I was very interested to hear from Wendy Moncur (at Dundee University) about the release of your book. I have been involved in research with Wendy as I have launched the world's first iPhone app of its type called Legacy Organiser which allows users to record and share information about how they would like their life to be celebrated. It also allows users to plan ahead for their farewell and funeral and deals with the issue of "digital estate". Anyway, I thought I would drop you a note as there seems to be some cross over between your area of expertise and what I am doing with the app. Would be great to speak or be in email contact. Kind regards - Victoria Richard

I've been working in the area of computer graphics since 1984 and I turned 60 late last year so the question of the continuation of my digital self's existence is quite an interesting one.
