Los QR, Quick Response o Códigos Bidi, son códigos de barras 2.0 creados en 1994 en Japón con fines comerciales.
Desde de 2008, los estoy utilizando con despropósitos artísticos.
Son mis jeroglíficos futuristas, mis píxeles morse…y contienen un revelador mensaje cifrado, para que tú, con tu móvil, descubras paseando por la calle, el Sentido de La Vida o cómo pelar patatatas sin usar un cuchillo.

I started to use QR with artistic purpose in 2008.
The message is that there´s no message. Well, all of my QR say the same: I DON´T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.
I thought that I had to annul any message to convert the QR into art and not into any kind of publicity support, the real reason why the japanesse created this in 1994.
The first reaction once you see QR for the First Time is: “I don´t understand anything. Then, when you discover that there´s a secret message, you take a picture.
In the end, you realize that there´s no any message that will save your life or sell you anything. You end in the beginning….As in the Monty Python´s The Meaning of Life…”
