QR CODE PROJECT « DREAM VANNES »
Vannes, a city located in Morbihan in Brittany, is launching a call for project relating to the design of a QR code. It’s opened to all artists and designers worldwide.
Background :
A world premier in France in June 2011 : the first QR code design exhibition was presented at  the” Palais des Arts” in the city of Vannes by the artist agent Corinne Jaillais in partnership  with Qr Dress Code.
“International stars” of this technology – French, American and Japanese – were invited, via  the blog www.qrdresscode.com, to imagine, create and distort QR codes based on the theme  of “Paris, dance and elegance”. The exhibition entitled “Paris fait son show” has since  embarked on a worldwide tour, including Washington and Barcelona, and will soon go to  Paris and Japan.
Today’s challenge is to create a digital canvas, which will be used as an element of urban  design that can be scanned with a smart phone and connected to the city’s mobile website. Vannes is one of the first French cities in the Great West to have launched a smart phone  application on its website!
Project :
Creation of a personalized QR Code linked to the mobile website of the city of Vannes.
(http://www.mairie-vannes.mobi).  URL to be absolutly associated with the code design for a direct access to the mobile site  of Vannes : http://v-qr.fr

The code must be compatible with the Bookbéo, Mobiletag and I-nigma applications  installed in the following smart phone operating systems: IOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows mobilene (or two or three) theme to choose from the following list:
● The sea
● The ermine (animal emblem of the city of Vannes)
● The Gwenn ha du (Brittany’s flag)
This code will be edited in Vannes and shown on a digital canvas of about 50 m² on the  Château de l’Hermine in Vannes
