ASTE ART+ vs aliasing.ar

ART+ is an augmented reality art app that allows users to experience location-based AR works using their smartphones or tablets. Visit the website (https://artplus.app/) to see all artwork locations. New media, sound and visual artworks can be viewed and listened to from a distance and explored up close, you can walk around them and even enter some of them. ART+ will ask for permission to use Camera and Location (GPS). It is needed for the augmented reality functionality. The app will not take pictures, save or transfer data automatically. In case you don’t want to permit access, you can also see all the artworks on the website without AR: https://artplus.app/ We recommend using headphones to enjoy artworks with sound.

aliasing.ar is an audiovisual sound walk combining field recordings and photogrammetry of a scene with voice-over and snapshots from other users connecting to the app or to an alternate version of the work in a web browser. The app is part of ALIASING, a larger project exploring imaginings of online space, mediated perception and digital identity. aliasingxaliasing is the newest implementation of the project, manifesting in an interactive work for two communicating virtual spaces. The project explores aliasing both as being perceived – named – and as a discrepancy between what is perceived and the means by which it is perceived – what it means to wrap a thought in words and to be present with one another within technologically mediated collectives, as much as to capture a variably oscillating light source through the fixed frame rate of a camera. aliasingxaliasing was produced as a study for a larger upcoming work including a physical exhibition, and was shown during BROWSER SOUND 2023: LOCATION SHARING, presented both for an audience in person exploring the AR-app, and a remote audience accessing the browser app. Both of these experiences connect and mediate the perspectives of the work as seen by the other participants. The work was co-developed by Steffen Reichelt and Evelin Felix Lindberg in 2023.
