QR code tribute to the fertility goddess on valentines day.
February is traditionally a time for fertility celebrations. In the spirit of this, I made earrings (via a lasercutter) that act as a physical hyperlink to the wikipedia article for the Fertility Goddess. Taking a photo of these earrings using a qr code reader on your phone will take you to the mobile version of the page. I generated the code using Semapedia.
Unfortunately, the ones I made without writing “Fertility Goddess” (so just the 2D barcode) didn’t turn out dark enough…but this works to show the concept. More versions to come!
Those earrings rock!

Hey! It looks like you are in the MIT mobile Fab Lab!
What did you use to fasten the qr code to the earring piece and what did you put the printed out qr code on? Thanks!!
Hi Kim-I used a laser cutter, so basically i used wood, and the length of time the laser hit the wood defined the burn extent, which created contrast for the qr code to be read.
