QR 2D- 3D

source: highlike

Work: The project started with the question whether an object can communicate a concrete message. Inspiration for this work were ancient artifacts, which are often adorned with secret signs. Those signs can reveal information about the time, the usage or even about the creator of the object. Such objects interact with us by using these symbols, the objects reveal something about their identity. However those codes stick on the objects, but do not have any influence on the shape itself. The aim was to create an object whose shape is based on the visual nature of the chosen code and the information input. The QR cube’s shape is therefore inextricably connected with the information input, the message. If we change the message the structure will follow. The message encoded in this cube, made in 2011, tells us something about the object’s identity: 24 x 25 Hartholz 2011.

QR Codes seemed to have came and gone with the surge of social media integration and technology driving the future of businesses everywhere. With these QR Codes came a sense of mystery (as seen in the QR Code Pavilion) that’s easily decoded once scanned.Designer Elena Belmann created this three-dimensional stool that has the opportunity to be under-lit and even has information added to it when viewed from the top two-dimensionally. From the side, it’s a beautiful piece of art, and when lit it can even do double duty as a dim lamp. She shares that the stool can share “the extent of the object, the material and the year. The object reveals its identity.”
