+WHAT are QR (Quick Response) codes?

• A QR code is a matrix barcode readable by smartphones, mobile devices with cameras and more

• Typically seen as white squares with black geometric shapes (also multi-color codes and logos)

• Information such as text, a URL or other data can be easily encoded using a QR Code generator

• Users point their device, scan, and are quickly taken to the encoded data

+More… QR code was originally invented in 1994 by Denso Wave,

a Toyota subsidiary, as a way to track vehicles as they were assembled, and to scan components at high speeds. While Denso Wave does hold the patent on the technology, it has granted free license on it, going so far as to publish the spec online, and allowing anyone to use it.

Can not only hold 100 times more data than 1D barcodes and they can also be digitally scanned by anyone with a phone.

+The QR code art is created entirely by hand, but is fully functional and can be scanned by either a tablet or a smartphone. The creation of the entire collection was recorded as a video which is just over five minutes in length, but is fascinating enough to make it worth the time it takes to watch it.
