Après notre exposition "Paris fait son show" montée l'an passé au palais des Arts de Vannes, l'équipe municipale de la citée des Vénètes a suivi notre nouveau projet, à savoir installer une fresque numérique géante sur l'un des plus beaux bâtiments du centre ville historique : Le château de l'Hermine. Rondement piloté avec Corinne Jaillais (agent d'artiste) et Gregory Prijac (responsable évènementiel de la ville de Vannes et "facilitateur" du projet...c'était pas gagné !)

What can QR codes do?

The codes essentially just encode text, however it is the ability of the readers to detect what type of information that text contains that makes the codes so flexible. Here is a brief list of the types of information recognised by the big readers: 1) Email address Readers will recognise email addresses by the @ sign. It will then instruct your phone to launch a new blank email to this address. Example: "mailto: Ben@example.com". A code that fills out the subject and message etc can apparently be done using the NTT DoCoMo MATMSG format (although I haven’t got it to work on my iPhone yet). 2) Telephone Numbers To automatically engage the telephone number dialling application on the person's phone, use the tel function.

Example: to encode the UK phone number 0207 111 1111 use “tel:00442071111111”. 3) Contact Information I have had most success with NTT DoCoMo’s MECARD format.
