Project Overview
The Saudi Ministry of Culture, in a pioneering initiative for The Literature, Publishing & Translation sector, introduced a series of interactive stands across the Kingdom, designed to engage the public in the world of literature. Each stand, distinctively placed in various locations, featured a unique barcode. When scanned, these barcodes revealed different short stories, bringing a modern twist to traditional reading. This inventive approach allowed for an interactive literary experience, encouraging exploration and making literature easily accessible to a wider audience. The project perfectly combined technology with the arts, enhancing the cultural and educational landscape of Saudi Arabia and making reading an engaging, communal activity.
