“The QR code has become a mundane and predictable part of the visual culture of our private and public spaces. QR is short for “Quick Response”—basically shorthand for the normalization of our instant gratification relationship to technology.
Brown ‘zooms in’ on the QR code to provoke fresh thinking about our interactions with the digital world: what we gain, what we surrender willingly, and what we lose unknowingly. Scanning one of these larger-than-life QR artworks upends the viewer’s expectations, surprising them with a memorable AR experience that plays with the physical structure and symbolism of QR codes.“
