This is an image that can be printed out and posted on walls or signs or what not. What does the image represent? Nothing in the traditional way an image represents something. It’s a code–like a bar code–an image with embeded information. These are called QR Codes and are apparently all the rage in Japan. See if you have a cell phone with the QR Code reader software on it you can use your cell phones camera to decode the message, photo, music or whatever up to 1 mb! Pretty cool. I can see how advertisers might want to use it to lend an air of mystery and intrigue to their campaigns. I just like the idea of posting secret messages in plain sight.

Oh and I made the above image with their QR Code maker. It’s basically the story of my life … sort of.
