QR codesplaced on objects or products is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to convey specialized information. Fortunately, on almost every modern mobile phone with a built-in camera, you can install an application that recognizes these codes. And although all such codes are different from each other, some of them can be quite original and even beautiful.
Modern authors use QR codes to encrypt various works of art. Examples include a street art gallery from Golfstromen or a huge Hello, world! Sign written in a matrix code on a field in the German region of Thuringia, and today we will tell you about QR codes, which in themselves can be called works of art. …
After all, it is not at all necessary that the matrix codes be a set of black squares on a white background. They can also be composed of completely different elements. The main thing is that these elements stand in certain places so that the program can recognize the algorithm for their arrangement and decipher the message.
This fact is used by some manufacturers of goods and services, as well as advertising agencies, creating QR codes for a particular product.
For example, the matrix code, when decrypted, you get a link to the game Angry Birds, can be stylized as its playing field. A link to the site of a famous person can be made in the form of a photo of this celebrity.
Moreover, it is not at all necessary for the QR code itself to have a square shape. Examples of this include the diamond-shaped code linking to the website of the film company Warner Bros., or the link to the page of the creative agency Jess3 on the Fabebook social network, encrypted with a matrix code in the form of a black and blue letter F.
By the way, it is Jess3 employees who are the authors of most of the unusual QR codes presented in this material.
