Here's a neat and cheap way to hide an empty shop unit.
It's a Music Wall, 16 water-related tracks that you can access via the QR codes on the records. I like the thinking behind this, Mermaid Quay is "Cardiff's Vibrant, Captivating Waterfront" after all and I like puns and I like music. Mermaid Quay also occasionally puts on live music and their #MQMusicFest continues today.
My only question is around the use of QR codes. I see and understand their purpose, I like the look of them (naturally) but how many people actually use them?
Wikipedia says they're being used on everything from headstones to coins but as QR readers don't seem to come as standard on a lot of phones, or they're not obvious to the user if they're on there already, how many people go out of their way to use QR codes? Especially when we can all type a URL pretty quick?
There's still a lot of work to be done bridging the offline and online worlds, but well done Mermaid Quay for an innovative use of space, and doing some that integrates music as a fun activity in Cardiff Bay.
And thanks for putting Kim Wilde's best song on your music wall...
