[kwynnyzd] spoiling an artistic QR code

given a QR code which has been artistically modified, for example by stamping a logo in its center, find the minimum additional pixels which need to be altered to make the code unreadable.  create an evil app, and make the modifications with a marker.

if making modifications with a black marker, we want the minimum additional white pixels which need to be turned black.

Reed-Solomon error correcting codes work extremely well when errors are random, but not so well (but still roughly as well possible) when there is an adversary trying to induce error.
