In his QR Codes series, Coupland has painted large-scale abstractions that reference the work of artists such as Piet Mondrian and Gerhard Richter while actually functioning as Quick Response codes. When scanned with a QR code reader, the paintings reveal pithy statements from the artist. Describing how he came to these texts, Coupland said: “I began writing messages I would send to a person who died just before I was born, or to a person who will be born right after I die. How do you compress thoughts about life on earth into 250 ASCII characters? Ultimately they morphed into poems and pieties. They draw our attention to the past, the present and the future we may face.”
