Apparently, they say in vain that the Eastern Civilization is much more spiritual than the Western. Take, for example, the relation to matrix codes (or, as they are also called, QR codes). In Japan, such codes are used with might and main for advertising, but in the Netherlands, thanks to the efforts of the art group Golfstromen, in art.
In recent years, there has been a real boom in the use of QR codes in Japan. Every resident of the country has a program in his mobile phone to decipher these strange pixel pictures. Therefore, more and more advertisements, announcements, signs and other information in the Land of the Rising Sun are served using matrix codes, but in Europe everything is completely different. There matrix codes encrypt, for example, a joyful greeting "Hello, world!" …
The latter, right on a street in the western part of Amsterdam, created a real gallery of art, both modern and classical. People from Golfstromen hung several dozen posters with matrix codes on the walls of houses on the ground floor level. And with their help, any passer-by can get involved in art without going into galleries or opening books.
Indeed, some of these QR codes contain encrypted links to paintings by contemporary artists or great masters of the past. So a person can download them and admire the masterpieces of fine art right on their phone. And other matrix codes from Golfstromen hide aphorisms of philosophers or quotes from the works of great writers of different countries and eras.
So far, these encrypted works of art just hang on the street. But in the future, the guys from Golfstromen are planning to create a special indoor gallery for them.
