“Activating Digital Ubranism, by augmenting murals.
A new way of users interacting with their city”
Project: P.O.A.P (AR)t
Process: Mobile (AR) Experience
Place: Melbourne, Jungle Funk Mural
Team +: (MSD) Students
Role: Lead Adviser
Our goal with this design-research studio is to expose participants to emerging/alternative “design” opportunities in correlation to architecture, media, and technology. Participants will collaboratively investigate the relationship between (AR), the city, and its’ occupants. Within a 10 day time-frame, we targeted a prominent mural to activate using mobile (AR) technology. The team designed a set of digital creatures as a new interactive layer hosted from the site specific mural, “jungle funk”by Mike Makatron.
Located in Melbourne, Australia, the site-specific project targets a set of graffiti loaded alley‘s that best represent the cities street art culture - utilizing the jungle of urban imagery with existing machine learning image-recognition technology. The goal is to digitally hack the historic alley and create a comprehensive augmentation for the city flanuer to experience.
