Fortune Teller AR vs Bamboo AR

Fortune Teller is a series of augmented frescoes, composed of eyes to animate, texts, music and filters. Each of the eyes symbolizes an aspect of Nature sharing with us its vision of the world. Inspired by expressions from all over the world, it is a hymn to differences and the multiplicity of views.

Explore the pioneering work of Dr Kristof Crolla and Dr Garvin Goepel on the integration of digital technology into bamboo architecture. By downloading the augmented reality (AR) app, you can access an immersive experience that allows you witness the physical scale models of their bamboo projects at full scale through holograms made visible directly onto your mobile device. The exhibition includes seminal projects like the 2015 “ZCB Bamboo Pavilion” in Hong Kong, which celebrated its 10th anniversary; “MemutAR”, a bamboo pavilion created for the Bamboo World Congress in Taiwan in 2024; “Bale Timbang”, a community project built with Hong Kong students for a farming community in Bali, 2025; and the “Bamboo U Dome”, a lecture hall, workshop, and cultural event space at the Bamboo U campus in Bali, 2024. These projects utilised innovative computational workflows throughout their design, fabrication, and construction process, including AR- driven holographic instruction methods. This approach offers a far more intuitive and comprehensive alternative to traditional construction drawings, thus simplifying construction, making complex geometries more accessible—the philosophy of "Building Simplexity."
