Critical QR exhibition
15 – 18 April | Lower Foyer
Free to enter, no booking required
Critical QR is an installation by Donal Lally and David Capener, whose work operates at the intersection of art, design and research and critically explores the materiality of the digital. The exhibition tests the limits of the QR code as a modal intersection between physical objects and musical ephemera, exploring 3D printing, non-computational algorithms, and hybrid analogue/digital design approaches.
