NARRATIVE INK

Text & Code ‘Can we get an a’

A project made for ‘Text & Code’ taught by Anne Royston. This project tests the constraints of the QR code by tattooing it on people’s bodies. The project is based off the idea of ‘stalking’ on social media by placing embarrassing and intrusive information about the ‘canvases’ (people with the tattoos) and putting it on the live web without any mark to who they are or what they were asked.

Visit narrativeink.org to see the project in action! Current Canvas Count: 4

If you meet me, ask to see mine!

Thank you to KReidTattoo for the tattoos.
