To Barcode, or Not To Barcode?

One side of the cow was on its way to being a ‘Singer’ Sewing Machine, which left the other side rather bare. A decision was made to carve out a barcode on the side, representing the consumer aspect to cotton. It is safe to say that retail keeps our economy afloat, and cotton, or fashion, plays a major part of that.
We then installed a censor, light and 'beeper', so that every time someone walks past, a red light a beep goes off. This is a representation of 'buying', or, once again, the retail and consumer aspect to cotton. Although some emphasis has been placed on cotton in its raw form on our cow, it easily identifiable with the general perception of cotton to represent clothes. In saying this, the clothing industry heavily relies on cotton, and as a result the cotton industry relies on the clothing industry. A vital relationship is formed, which is why such a huge emphasis on clothing and retail has been used with the cow.
