QR Codes

Ken Newman Sculptures Website

Celebration of Fine Art

You may have seen similar images in magazines, billboards, ads, menus, etc…this is a QR Code.  If you have a iPhone, iPod, Blackberry, Droid or many other Internet connected cell phones with a camera-, By taking a picture of the image (RIGHT FROM THIS SCREEN), you will be directed to a specific site on the Internet, in this case Ken’s new website and the Celebration of Fine Art website.

How does it work—follow the steps below:

· First download a QR program (aka App) that can read the QR Code at one of these sites http://reader.kaywa.com or http://tag/microsoft.com. Just like any App it takes a couple seconds to download.

· Open the App

· Take a picture of the QR Code image above. Once the picture is taken it immediately directs you to Ken’s website where you can browse his sculptures, show calendar and works in progress, etc. 

The App keeps track of your QR Codes for future reference. QR codes are used everywhere—beats typing in a URL or searching endlessly.   Some codes now can look like logos and images for a fee!

We have been using QR Codes for about a year at the outdoor shows. It is like a business card, postcard, video all in one and allows others to share your information quickly. We have suggested it to several of the museum exhibitions we participate in and we believe you will be seeing the used in other creative ways.  We have plans to create QR Codes for each sculpture, using audio and video presentations in order to reach a wider audience.

WARNING: be careful what you scan—it is another opportunity for the bad guy to hack your phone and data.
