Here’s a quick cellphone pic of the final monotype that resulted when the melted ice cubes of ink used in the frozen QR project finally dried, after four days: I tacked it up to the pressroom door of the Bow and Arrow Press, so it could relax and flatten a little. I’ll trim the paper

300… I’ve captured 300 QRs. Here’s the group average, as shot: (the graininess comes from the fact I photographed three or four QRs on computer monitors this time around) Generated average: Average of all 300, as shot– And all 300, freshly generated: Since 300 is a big and round number, I figured I’d do another
Right now this is a placeholder for a project coming to fruition when the weather gets reliably below freezing. Here’s a hint to the coming content. And here’s a shot of the project in process– And finally, the finished piece: The QR code was constructed out of over 300 black pixels made of a frozen
The sad thing is, I’d had the eighth round mostly processed for a couple months, and I finally finished it up and posted it because I’d collected enough for the ninth round. So… here’s the ninth round! 270 QRs found in the wild. 9th round as-shot 9th round as clean, regenerated codes Full set of
Total QRs bagged: 240. Batch 08 as-shot Batch 08 re-generated All 240 raw QRs All 240 regenerated into clean codes
I’ve been collecting more QR codes in the wild for my ongoing QR code project (alas, the eighth iteration is done but I haven’t had time to process the images), and found this interesting sample in Manchester, NH, last weekend. It’s great that this company is trying to connect with the whole Web 2.0 dynamic,
Another batch coming up, bringing the total to 210. Batch 7 as-shot Batch 7 generated as clean QRs All 210 QRs as-shot All 210 clean, generated codes.
So the averages I’ve been producing have been normalized to one specific size, in this case, 2400 x 2400 pixels for the generated, clean QRs. However, the actual encoded pixel width of the QR depends on how much data one wishes to encode. If you look at any of the composites I’ve done, you see
Another set of QR codes discovered lurking in the Real World. Fun fact: one of the codes used I used myself at Somerville Open Studios as a way for people to sign in to my email list. Unfortunately, only three people actually used it: one was an abject failure, one didn’t enter his email address,
