Artistic QR

Artists employ QR codes to enhance engagement with their exhibitions

Trend - The use of QR codes by artists in their exhibitions and individual pieces allow for more interactive forms of engagement for those viewing the art in question. These pieces perfectly merge traditional forms of artistic consumption with the digital platforms that modern consumers are accustomed to engaging with on a regular basis.

Insight - For consumers around the world, the mobile phone has become a permanent extension of the self. From storing news articles to jolting down notes, many use it as a personal archive that is filled with interesting information and saved memories. As a result, experiences that bridge the gap between the physical and the digital by enabling mobile-connected interactivity are favored by consumers--as users are allowed to easily store and access the information on their trustworthy, hand-held device.
Workshop Question - How could your brand more creatively employ QR codes?
