method as metaphor
Welcome to the METHOD AS METAPHOR Project page for a set of artworks I designed which incorporate a scanable "QR-Codes" into each artwork in the series. This means that the artworks themselves include the artwork that appears in the magazine as well as the multimedia art that these images link to by way of the scanning process. This appeals to me so much because the act of YOU scanning these works is included as part of the realization of the art...
These artworks were designed for a specific purpose: to appear in the 49th edition of the "The Hand: the magazine for reproduction-based art". You can tap the button situated to the far right to link to their website to learn more. I collaborated with Adam Finkelston - the owner and the publisher of this magazine, who actually suggested the QR-Code format so that the readers would be able to experience in their fullness the essential multimedia context almost immediately. It is such a remarkably good idea: presenting the works in a way which would give the "viewer" immediate access to the multimedia content connected to each of the five individual artworks which explores a different aspect of the ways I have involved printed art processes into my creative universe.
This is simply a remarkable resource. It means that if the readers of the magazine are curious, they can scan the images and see (and possibly hear) immediately the active content, be it an animated GIF, a documentary style film fragment or animated art with sound, the size and format is uniquely designed to appear best on a smartphone screen.
Additional text is included in summary beneath the images, although extended information is included on the pages intended for viewing on a desktop computer.
If you wish to view this page on a desktop, click/tap the icon above so that it can be revealed in this format. The menu bar at the top of this page has been specifically designed for a smartphone browser. You can tap them to quickly move to another page. The icon on the far left will lead you back to this page, the second button transfers you to similar content viewable on a desktop. The third icon takes you to the "Making an Impression" Website which is dedicated to printed and impressed artwork. The fourth icon takes you to my homepage, and the final icon to the right takes you to the homepage of THE HAND which has kindly agreed to publish four of these five artworks in this quite remarkable way. Although I have created QR-code artworks before I have never designed artwork specifically for viewing using this format.
