Exhibition pushes the conventions of the familiar printed art catalog by using QR Codes as the interface for media artworks presented on the ephemeral screen of Smart phones and electronic notebooks. Each artwork is hosted on a website transforming the catalog into an interface.
A bit of history… QR(quick response) code was created in 1994 to track vehicles during the manufacturing process. It made the jump into advertising, marketing and anywhere that more information was needed or desired. For some visual and conceptual artists it is being put to use in the development of locative media artworks to be viewed as part of site-specific work.
In recent decades, catalogues for art exhibitions have become the most comprehensive source for new subject
areas and are often more detailed than collections of the artworks. The SCAN 2Go exhibition catalogue of QR Codes is a collection of paper-based hyperlinks that will connect.
