Still Life 4+

Still Life artwork intersects the contemporary medium of augmented reality with traditional and historical art forms, further diluting the physical into a liminal sphere.

Still Life is an interactive augmented reality App I designed to keep alive the ancient and fervid European still life art-practice. Still Life intersects the contemporary medium of augmented technology with traditional and historical art forms, further diluting the physical into a liminal sphere.
Infect, the AR artwork speculates on landscapes, paintings, and objects by letting the audience recreating a ‘diffuse’ augmented reality object-oriented space formed by diverse random objects. Through photogrammetry technique, Still Life overlays objects and landscapes to generate a saturated panorama, challenging physical places to render it vibrant and participatory. Through custom game play using fingers, users discover and interact (rotating, translating, scaling) with 33 domestic items, such as digitised kettles, vases and sugar canisters, etc.
These augmented reality items aim to animate the exhibition space (indoor/outdoor), designing a dreamlike scenario where the ontology of vision makes the invisible vivacious.
Usage:
Tap on the screen where you see the gold density cloud particle system to place 3D objects over the space. Tap again on the object you want to interact with. And scale (gesture: pinch thumb-index) Translate XYZ (gesture: finger back and forth over the screen) and rotate (gesture: finger left and right over the screen). Back button to reset the whole AR session.
