I have started a project with an artist who works with bar codes.

We have started to design a project with the new QR codes.
the codes marketed towards smart phones.
where using apps on the phone you can get the information from the code, be it text or a phone number or a url.
i started to experiment immediately:

[This meant taping a code to a sweater and seeing if it could still be read.]
Then I digitized a code to see if it could be read once it was translated into thread.

It read it fine.

The next step is to make a full scale quilt out of a code.
though that may have to wait till I finish my current show.
in the interim take a look around Scott’s site.
