We're just about to launch a low-key pilot project using QR codes on 20 works of public art throughout the city centre. It is I'm afraid very much in the category that Frankie is yet to be convinced of, in that the codes, placed on each of the works, take the visitor to a web page containing more information about the artwork. In its defence though I will say that the content has been developed with mobiles phones in mind, both in terms of presentation and in the style of interpretation, which is bite size, quirky and occasionally irreverent. Sticky Bits could potentially extend the interactive possibility of the project though, so we'll definitely check it out. Cheers for pointing it out Frankie.
BTW, The desktop version of the site can be found here www.manchestergalleries.org/decodingart
