Art: Sweza and QR Codes

Art: Sweza and QR Codes

You’ve probably seen QR-codes popping up all over the place in the past few years. They are those matrix bar code images that you can scan with a smartphone and get linked to online content. The codes are primarily used in advertising, but German street artist Sweza has been using them in a different way for several years now. 

Watch this video of DW-TV interviewing Sweza to see the different ways he has been utilizing QR codes. Cool stuff!

Kamir Hiam (USA) has been obsessed with hip hop culture since discovering rap as a child in the mid 90s. As curator of The Find's Stay Thirsty podcast, he is an obsessive crate digger, always looking for more dope music. Other hobbies include travel, reading, fitness, and science.
