Laboratory of Synchronous Planes — An Experimental Augmented Reality Workshop for Artists & Poets.
“Augmented Reality” (AR) was coined to describe an interactive experience where the real-world is enhanced by computer-generated information. A popular example is the Pokémon GO app.
Participants will explore digital and analog interventions to augment spatial and temporal experience. This experimental workshop is open to any level of technical literacy. Artists, designers and poets are all welcome. Participants will conduct analog sketches for “augmenting” time and space, and will discuss and try digital processes as time and technology permits. A variety of workflows and tools for creating an augmented reality intervention will be demoed and shared. This workshop is for all who are interested in experimenting with augmented reality as an aesthetic and technical tool.
Presented concurrently with Roseate, a pop-up exhibition by Laura Darlington.
