QR-3D is an experiment in textiles and digital technology.
QR codes are grid-like images used in the same way as barcodes. They can be read by mobile phones and contain text, usually an internet address.
What happens when those codes are recreated in textiles? Does the texture of the thread and fabric stop the codes from working? How far can textiles be manipulated before the functionality disappears?
QR-3D invites anyone, anywhere to join in and find out. Simply choose a website, turn it into a QR code and recreate it in textiles.
Instructions for all of these steps are included in the project's website http://www.qr-3d.weebly.com/
Some of the works created will be selected for the exhibition QR-3D, held at Cornerhouse during Manchester Science Festival.
