The Barcode Gallery Boasts QR Code Canvases as Wall Art

— May 15, 2011 — Tech
If you refuse to believe that QR codes are here to stay in mainstream society, at least for the time being, I suggest you turn your attention to the Barcode Gallery. This company specializes in converting QR codes into works of art that are appropriate and unique enough to be hung on the walls of one's home.

Although QR codes may seem indistinguishable from one another, the beauty of their ambivalence is that the discovery of what they hold is that much more exciting. Barcode Gallery turns QR codes into personalized messages and photographs that have special meaning to the owner.

Barcode Gallery also makes sure that the QR code canvas looks good as well. The wall art is available in a slew of colors.
