I really like the idea of QR codes. For those of you who don't have an idea what they are, Hypebeast gave a pretty good definition. "Referred to as the barcode of the future, a QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a matrix code which allows its contents to be decoded at high speed." So in layman's terms, QR codes are a faster way to ring up and track merchandise. So why not embrace this new found technology as art? Well that is exactly what Takashi Murakami did and followed in hot pursuit by Marc Jacobs, with his version tittled “Miss Marc”. Just another way to incorporate fast paced marketing into something that is trivial to an American consumer, yet and exciting breakthrough to the Japanese market. Oh, how our worlds are different.
