genius. though it all hinges on having brass rule in multiples of the em.
and; but printed, does it scan?
bogtrykkeren 13 months ago | reply
Yes the German “Lego” system is great for things like this.
I hope it will scan printed :-)

Thanks to you all for your kind comments.
It wasn’t so complicated as it seems to – the biggest challenge was not to shake too much on the hands . 4 hours of fun and NO stress!:-)

Jens - You're a brave soul for taking the time to piece it all together! Early last year I letterpressed an entire book of QR codes that you might be interested in - but after sizing up the border material, rule, and ornaments we have in the shop, I opted to get magnesium blocks made! If you're interested, I'd love to chat about what you're up to - it should scan no problem! I've even found that when you overlap the codes in different colors, the darkest color will still scan. If you're interested in my piece, check it out here:

Great work!

Thanks!
Yes composing QR-codes by hand require a lot of material – I can, at the moment, just do it with my 6 pkt. rules (with a help from some small pieces of 12 pkt:-).
In defiance of that I’m a analogue person I really like the QR-codes as graphic objects and it is fun to combine two such different techniques as the hand set form with the modern technology.
It was fun to create this code, but there is too much labour in it if it should have been done commercial.
My wife has one of those new fancy phones – and yes, it did work!
Thanks for the links – interesting work.

For everyone who want to do sprayed QR codes some day and has no idea how to deal with the "islands" (no connections between squares) might find this tool handy:
