DARV Art&Tech Workshop Linz

The key intention of this workshop is the creation of artistic concepts and narratives for AR/ MR experiences and performative interventions in public spaces. At the same time, we would explore together the potential for social engagement and public participation in these kind of projects. A starting point for reflection would be DARV projects examples involving socially inspired concepts related to migrant and queer topics. We would discuss about possible public spaces in Linz for conceiving site-specific AR/ MR experiences and performative interventions. We suggest as conceptually interesting those public spaces serving for transition from one point to another (e.g. bridges, stairways, elevators, etc).

The students will be given the opportunity to use the DARV Augmented Reality application in order to realise their projects.

The workshop would focus on connecting the real and virtual world utilising Augmented Reality to merge different artistic expressions in an experience of intermedia oneness.
