QR code is a machine-readable optical label, that contains information about something. Graphic encryption element, which requires a key (digital device) to decrypt. Original idea of the project was to find the way to use the qr code not just as a link or trigger for subsequent actions. If we exclude its main function and glance at it as a graphic object, the qr code can be an abstract work made by the machine. A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background. Patterns are presented in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.
A similar image technique was used by the artists of the art movement De Stijl (Neoplasticism) and its most famous representative Piet Mondrian. Mondrian limited his formal vocabulary to the three primary colors (red, blue and yellow), the three primary values (black, white and gray) and the two primary directions (horizontal and vertical).
Another famous artist of that time was Herbert Bayer. He studied in Darmstadt in 1919 as an architect. From 1921 to 1923 he attended the Bauhaus in Weimar and studied the painting with Wassily Kandinsky. Herbert Bayer used the same working style in his design, which was the main feature of the abstract artists works. But in contrast to artists of abstraction, Bayer used in his architectural posters interrelated vertical and horizontal lines to experience the human in his works a three-dimensional space.
Herbert Bayer developed several design variations for different buildings. The peculiarity of his design is the combination of bold and volumetric compositions, which come close to Neoplasticism.
The poster "Design for a cigarette stand" is presented in the form of an abstract multi-colored qr code. The other two posters were created by pre-separating the elements of Bayers architectural objects and transforming them into abstract graphic images.
Using the augmented realiity app, 3000 colored squares, vertical and horizontal components transform into a 3-dimensional architectural objects created by Herbert Bayer.
