OVERVIEW

Description

Headline:DISCOVER THE MASTERThis portrait of Picasso, created entirely of QR codes is easily activated through your mobile device. Once activated you'll find pertinent information on the exhibit, ticket purchasing capabilities and a limited gallery of work from Picasso's exhibit as well as an augmented reality app that downloads directly to your phone. This app unlocks our virtual gallery, where pieces from the exhibit can be found on city streets, on buildings, in parks, inside storefront windows and at multiple Starbucks locations. We are attempting to create multiple experiences to Discover the Master over the course of the exhibit.

Execution

THE SOLUTIONUsing simple QR codes as our raw material, we created an iconic portrait of the artist that challenged people to look deeper.Scan the code, and you discovered a gallery of paintings right on your mobile phone.A Google map showed coordinates arranged in the shape of a bull.
