The other week I attempted to hack<\/a> the QR-Code<\/a> to see if I could visually embed a censored<\/a> aerial photograph of the Washington Monument<\/a> to create “Geovisual QR Code<\/a>“. While I was unsuccessful, I enjoyed the process of experimenting with this type of visual code.<\/p>\n

Today I tried to make a second QR Code design<\/a> based off a QR Code tessellation. I was able to make the tessellation without a problem and when I was finished I saved the new QR Code as a GIF. When I imported the GIF into my rendering program I noticed that something was awry. Instead of being shown in black & white I was seeing bits of color. I assume that this happened because the program does not take GIF files well. This might have happened because I saved the GIF as an interlaced file and when the program was deconstructing the GIF it created some type of visual static. Instead of casting the mistake aside, I decided to see what the final result would be, and frankly sometimes even mistakes can look quite cool.<\/p>\n

Up next will be the intended QR Code design.<\/p>\n
