QR Codes are turning busy city streets into giant art galleries
Posted on 14. Jul, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava
We've never been big fans of art galleries. They're too quiet, the people who work in them seem a bit uptight and the atmosphere is a bit like a state library – not great.
But thanks to QR code technology the streets can now magically transform into art galleries.
A multimedia art group C6 and Bristol-based art co-operative Steal From Work have found an innovative way to make street-based works commercially available. The Street Art Dealer
project links artworks to websites using QR codes. When viewing an
outdoor piece art enthusiasts need only scan the accompanying QR Code
to gain detailed artwork information straight from their cell phone. [via PSFK]

Hiding great art in a gallery is a crying shame. Hopefully this system is rolled out further than just Bristol and a city like Cape Town proudly shows off its artists to the world.
