AUGMENTED REALITY


I feel as if introducing a digital aspect to space which is typically concieved by the combination of multiple physical parts is both innovative and revolutionary in terms of thinking about space. We are no longer viewing art with our seeing eye, we are placing a screen in front of it to decipher a 2d image. This new mode of perception expands our notion on space and renders it more expansive/ephemeral in its qualities. This manipulated concept of space will lead to issues on the boundaries between private versus public. Furthermore, it will lead to the production of living spaces, communal spaces that rely on constructing a notion ofspace through the combination of digital/virtual and the physicality of architectural walls. Some benefits that may arise from location-based media - faster access to information, recontexualization of previous notions on what space and experience is. Some challenges include a lower attention rate, an absoportion in the digital world, being more influenced by the ordeals that occur in the virtual over what occurs in physical. When blurring the line between physical and digital, we begin to split an identity into two to be active in both realms.
