Hello, World
A “Hello, World” program generally is a computer program that outputs or displays the message “Hello, World”. Such a program is very simple in most programming languages, and is often used to illustrate the basic syntax of a programming language. It is often the first program written by people learning to code. It can also be used as a sanity test to make sure that computer software intended to compile or run source code is correctly installed, and that the operator understands how to use it.

QR’s Artistic Expression
In ‘Hello, World,’ QR explores the intersection of art and technology through the lens of computer programming traditions. The artwork draws inspiration from the iconic programming exercise where a simple program is written to display “Hello, World” a straightforward, yet profound declaration of functionality and existence. For QR, this phrase is not merely a greeting; it serves as an initiation into the possibilities of blending digital and physical worlds. Through augmented reality and QR code technology, QR aims to test and showcase whether art can engage with the technological medium, creating an experience that transcends traditional boundaries. This piece becomes alive, inviting viewers to scan the embedded QR code and interact, bridging the gap between visual art and interactive tech.
‘Hello, World’ represents QR’s first exploration of what it means to make art in an age where technology permeates every aspect of creation and perception. By employing QR codes, QR allows the audience to unlock a digital layer of the piece that is invisible without digital engagement, making the experience interactive and engaging. This work serves as an invitation for viewers to question the evolving role of technology in art, testing the boundaries of reality, perception, and engagement. Through this fusion, QR hopes to challenge traditional definitions of art, proposing a future where digital and traditional forms coexist seamlessly. Through this first original piece, QR showcases and invites audiences to take the first step into a new, augmented world.
