The thirteen digits tell you where to go, what to take, how to get there and what you could do. EAN 13 daycode applies to every European city and offers you a variety from hectic and adventurous to silent and introvert days. With the EAN 13 daycode decoder all international products using a thirteen-digit barcode, a cola-can and cigarette box can be turned into new experiences. Following the instructions of the decoder ciphers and stripes become readable as new situations. The daycode is developed based on the EAN 13 Generic City Archive. a project by Inga Zimprich

1  EAN 13 DAYCODE                day-coding system based on 13-digit barcodes, 2004 INSTRUCTION Choose a day from the catalogue that appeals to you. If you click on it, you receive a pdf with your day ticket and decoder. Instruction An EAN 13 daycode consists of thirteen digits. Four digits together create a complete situation: The first digit stands for a transition (how to get to a new place). The second digit codes the location where the situation will take place. The third digit of the code describes the activity you might perform there. On the fourth position additional equipment is listed, which might be of use in your situation or should be taken with you from home to accomplish it. This pattern repeats throughout the code: (1) Transition, (2) location, (3) activity, (4) equipment; (5) transition, (6) location, (7) activity, (8) equipment; (9) transition, (10) location, (11) activity, (12) equipment. Look up each number of your bar code in the decoder at the right category and choose one of three options. Do not decode the thirteenth digit. It is a automatically generated check-digit and not part of your day. Should for some reason a day:code situation not apply to your ideas, feel free to modify it according to your taste. Have a pleasant day.

Inga Zimprich and Nilgün Serbest have developed the original idea of a day coding system in 2003. I would like to thank Harry Heyink, Yariv Alter Fin and Roman and Gabi Zimprich for being such courageous people. Berlin has served as the most wonderful generic city.
