Abstract

The use of QR Code technology to design information about the motifs and symbols of North Sumatra ornaments can serve as a modern innovation to enhance efficiency and accuracy in the preservation of these motifs and symbols. The research employs a qualitative method, focusing on artistic and aesthetic exploration. The objective of this study is to introduce QR Code technology to support the preservation of North Sumatra^s ancestral heritage in the form of motifs and symbols, which can be integrated into QR Codes for easy access via smartphones. The implementation of QR Codes is expected to expedite the dissemination of information regarding the diversity of motifs and symbols from North Sumatra ornaments. The research results include a design that demonstrates how QR Codes can address the identified issues. The evaluation of functionality indicates that the QR Code device effectively stores documents of North Sumatra^s motifs and symbols, featuring a unique code display to preserve the authenticity and originality of each motif and symbol. North Sumatra ornaments and QR Codes will be printed on T-shirts using screen printing techniques, allowing the younger generation to become acquainted with North Sumatra^s cultural heritage- the QR Code on the T-shirt design can be scanned with smartphones.
