Peeling Layers of Space Out of Thin Air: Augmented Reality by Architects @ OMI - Part 1

Peeling Layers of Space Out of Thin Air: AR by Architects' is a group exhibition in Ghent, New York at Omi International Arts Center.

Opening Date: 07/09/2011
Run Time: 100 years
Platform: Layar Augmented Reality; www.layar.com
Information: www.cleater.com/peeling

The opening was a huge success with over 100 visitors who were all thoroughly enjoying themselves wandering around the 30 acre field and easily able to load the Augmented Reality projects with plenty of 3g bandwidth to share.

"In the recent past, many architects have dabbled in virtual reality, simulating augmented space using video projection technology and other media. Now, via developments in augmented reality, the general public can enter this virtual space and actively engage with the visions of mature experimental architects. The participants in Peeling Layers of Space Out of Thin Air were selected in response to their visionary approach towards a new architecture that has changed the built and/or academic landscape. As I expected, every contribution to this exhibition is masterful in the ways it uses augmented reality to intervene with the tranquil landscape of OMI, superimposing exciting and unpredictable visions that will make an everlasting impression on its visitors. Thanks to these interventions, OMI is now the locus of an unprecedented fourth dimension of fierce force that will continue to expand our understanding of space and time in the 21st century."
