"Augmented Curiosities"

Observatory of the unseen - Art & Technology Workshop

This Workshop will mainly focus on:

Reflection on how to represent strange or invisible (or not yet visible) phenomena: scientific like electricity? Qi energy? belief like a God?)
Discover how to use mobile devices, not only as a mean of communication (or a media for watching movies) , but as a creative tool.
Explore the new writing potentialities offer by AR technology, understand his limit.
Create an interesting relation between a traditional printed or tangible object (drawing, photo, sculpture..) and a digital layer (video/3d...)

Note: Soon, Adobe is going to release his next AERO Project ("Adobe AR") ... Le't s see what this technology is made of, and how designer could take over it to produce not only a beautiful and immersive experience, but also build a reflexion against it.
