Augmented Reality

"Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data." ~ Wikipedia

"Geolocation-based AR uses GPS, compass and other sensors in a user's mobile phone to provide a "heads-up" display of various geolocated points-of-interest." ~ Layar.com

These projects are experienced by using the Layar augmented reality browser. Some of these augments are currently placed at your precise location this very moment. Others are only viewable at specific geolocations.

In Other Words

In Other Words is now available on your mobile device, where ever you are located.
Select the title above to get started. You may need to refresh in the Layar app until the augment fully loads.

Created for the TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, New Works Festival, Lucie Stern Theatre Courtyard, Palo Alto, California.
Commissioned by the New Works Festival.

In Other Words is inspired by the many ways we communicate affairs of the heart.
In making this augment for the New Works Festival I was thinking about the predominance of the relationship theme that is in most of the current scripts, and the influences of changing technologies on how we navigate words of love.

Diverse Paths

Diverse Paths is now available on your mobile device, where ever you are located.
Select the title above to get started. You may need to refresh in the Layar app until the augment fully loads.

Created for the Palo Alto Art Center, Palo Alto, California.
Commissioned by the Palo Alto Arts Commission, ZERO1 and the San Jose Public Art Program, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

A splattering of doves, in a rainbow array of color, fly about the viewer in a 360 degree circle. The birds are hand drawn, as opposed to photographic, and thus are imbued with a fine art aesthetic, even as they animate the space. The exhibition site is marked by the shapes of birds in flight. These signs, located on the open lawn (Embarcadero Road side) of the Palo Alto Art Center, indicate to passersby that there is something to interact with in this space.
The work celebrates diversity, creativity, nature, and the power of universal symbols.
