- Worth noticing
- Seven QR words become an AI-generated poem, printed as a letterpress postcard; completing the trail also earns omija tea.
Field notes
The exhibition pairs a reconstruction of the 1945 bookstore with contemporary participatory elements, including a narrow projection room with sand-art video and a reading room where visitors choose and read a poem aloud. Its QR trail gathers seven words across the venue; the page says an AI generates a poem from them, which can be printed as a letterpress postcard. The Seoul dates are listed as October 29 through November 18, 2026, with a later Inje stop still lacking a venue and schedule.
