After reading an article on the Dubai blog about Kufi, architecture combining QR Codes and Kufi's makes a lot of sense for me. I close with:
2) During #IranElection on Twitter, this idea of Kufi and QR Codes reemerges in my mind

3) Today I discover Söhne & Partner's QR Code Building in Dubai (planning begun August 2008)

The Dubai QR Code meme comes full cercle. Still I continue to think that the combination of Kufi and QR Code is what would be even more interesting. Especially as the QR Code could help to be scanned by people who cannot read well. Somehow I also think about the cathedrals with their paintings which were there for the majority of people who could neither read nor understand latin. And somehow, in another way, this persists in Iran with the use of farsi (persian) and arabic. So imagine, you could either read the Kufi or scan the QR Code and hear the text in your language.
As you can see this post got a bit long and I apologize if not everything is clear and I mix too many things. To make it easy, I continue to call it the Dubai QR Code meme, but it brings up much more questions than this meme's name could express.
