It bothers me that no one ever was able to scan all the QR codes from this image.
EDIT: I added the other 2 images just to keep them in one place.

If I had any image editing skills I'd try, but sadly I don't.
God, that's so weird. That's clearly from someone's house. There's a microphone, must be where he records some of that eerie music for AR.

I just wish I could feel like we ever make any type of progress.
This music is weird. And I heard the same set of notes from the kanye quest game at one point.

Yep, those notes you hear when you first enter the Ascend room. And I agree. I sent a few PMs to some people who originally worked on it to ask why they quit. This whole thing is just driving me crazy. Do you have any idea what AB VD could mean?

I haven't a clue. I'm looking it up right now.
The station is repeating the Sid story right now.
I PM'ed Mr.Toasty and haven't gotten anything back. You hear anything?

I've been lurking on this board since Kanye Quest appeared on Kotaku. Here's a clearer/lighter version of 254361 - maybe it'll be easier to get a scan on? Also - it looks like maybe the ring around the pupil is binary or a bar code?
This is all so elaborate.

Hey, welcome. It definitely looks like some kind of barcode, you're right. No idea how to get those codes scannable, though. It's so small and blurry and at a crappy angle.

My minnesota contact is an hour from listening post AMNA-A. He says he'll check it out. not sure if there will be anything there to see though. sort of HAVE to have him look since he mentioned being so close once shown the map. Going to have him try for kit 4 as well.
Hello, yes, I am less than two miles from the spot in Minnesota, and I am not busy tomorrow. What do I need to do/bring to this location?

I manually recreated the large QR code on the right side of the eye since it was the clearest one to count out pixels.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Raw text ABSURDUS
I tried counting out the dashes around the eye, thinking they may be binary, but there aren't enough for that. Perhaps it is morse code?
Either way, I'm not sure if dissecting that photo in this way is the key to anything related to the ARG. Up til now most of the images had more hidden style clues or were steg'd while this image seems to be lacking in that same style of subtly. I noticed while reading through the past work of this thread that the SSTV images appear to be cut up parts of the CCCCC6 image, which was released in full to someone inquiring about the Kanye game.

It seems many of us had this same idea, and no i have heard nothing back from any of them.
Has anyone received a response to email inquiries lately?

I got past the RAQ line! I have an odd audio message after with a long wait and then lots and lots of numbers.
I've been emailing them and I got the answer out of them.
I'm not sure if I should post my audio yet or try and keep the conversation going.
Thoughts?

Skype or email conversation? Also the RAQ is that via the 3202 phone number?
Also if you get those numbers again perhaps write them down so we can decipher another possible message or clue.
Good job so far mate

All through email. The RAQ line is the one reached through the 302 number.
I recorded the call so I can post it and get the numbers written down whenever. I just don't know what's monitored and I want to see what else I can get out of them.
