From July 16 to 20, I participated in a group exhibition titled “in progress & on display” at KHM Rundgang 2025. For this opportunity, I prepared various print materials to showcase my web and binding kit, which I have been working on as my graduation project.

In particular, for this exhibition, I aimed to create a space where visitors could directly touch and experience the works rather than simply observe them in a traditional white cube setting. To achieve this, I prepared interesting items for the audience, one of which was the creation of QR code cards. After encountering books and the web at the exhibition hall, I pondered how to sustain interaction with them, leading me to prepare various QR print materials to enable mobile access to the web. This became the motivation and core focus of the exhibition.

I designed two types of QR code cards in A7 and A8 sizes. Since the bookbinding kit I previously made was inspired mainly by stationery and office supply stores, I wanted the cards to feel like everyday products. For one version, I designed them to resemble “Karteikarte” (index cards), using photos taken from book documentation. For the other version, I used acrylic index labels to place various colored QR codes on transparent acrylic cards.

When setting up the exhibition, my goal was to utilize existing products and table structures available at the exMedia Lab as much as possible. Since my graduation project focused on encouraging many users to directly use and experience the prototypes, it was important to blend them with existing products and items. Instead of using clean walls, I used a whiteboard to post the poster and placed grid panels on the tables to create an engaging visualization reminiscent of a practical training site.
