QR Code Island

For their collaborative project titled "QR-Code Island" Mat Barnes and Eddie Blake of C.A.N created a scale-model island that can be read by a smartphone as a QR code when viewed from above. The model represents a kind of spectacular planning which opens up intriguing opportunities, like the that of developers advertising via Google Earth or even have their message read in space.
