What is a QR Code?<\/p>\n
A QR code looks like this: a smart phone can scan them. Essentially they operate as a link. This can trigger an action in a browser – or make some txt show up.<\/p>\n
How would we implement them?<\/p>\n
We would make stencils and spray paint them onto boards. Here is a free software for generating QC codes [you merely input the link or text you want] and then making stencils that we could spray paint onto posts.<\/p>\n
What would these posts look like?<\/p>\n
This is something that could work. I would imagine them at 4 feet tall to make them easy to scan. Maybe half a foot across. Easily placed anywhere in our space.<\/p>\n
How can these be made to interact with the location and make people become involved with them?<\/p>\n
The posts can be set down bates hill. They can simulate a grave marker appearance with chalked body outlines at their feet. Revolutions often lead to a change – the markers are what they have or will terminate. Also the sort of spooky imagery of the body, of change and things endings, would help make people become involved. Further down when I refer to people interacting I will call them revolutionaries. Revolutionaries invite new participants.<\/p>\n

\nWhat are some things these QR codes do?<\/p>\n
Here is a little spread sheet I whipped up. I offer this list only as some idea for brainstorming not as a complete or uneditable list.<\/p>\n

When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. Fuck the police. etc.
\nSocial Media message(s)
\nGoes to a website
\nScanning the code results in the revolutionary being taken to their facebook or twitter account with a revolutionary post already written – waiting their approval.
\nRevolutionary techniques are increasingly dependent on social media. It is likely the most relevant and succesful revolutionary tactic today.
\nTheme of a new republic
\nMusic
\nGoes to a website
\nLinks to pieces of music – perhaps randomly generated – with revolutionary contexts.<\/p>\n
Marketing.
\nWords
\nPresents text
\nSingle words designed to force a new line of thinking.
\nRevolutionary phrases and rethinking traditional definitions are core revolutionary values.
\n2\/6\/1778
\nDates
\nPresents text
\nA date. Random. but made significant to our revolutionaries. Perhaps accompany it with a faux-event that would impose either a sense of force or freedom.
\nDates hold particular revolutionary significance, Guy Fawkes day, national hero birthday – and death days. Past and future dates are often used as a rallying point to propagandize.

\nFalse Information sites
\nGoes to a website
\nSimple web pages presenting false information.

Flag generator
\nDisplays image
\nDisplays a random flag – perhaps paired with text of an ideology ex \u201cBritish flag with the text \u2018Anarcho-Syndicalism\u2019\u201d
\nCreates a divide between established order and states represented by flags – and the pure intellectualism and idealism of the revolutionary.<\/p>\n
