Gold Environment 4+

Gold Environment is an augmented reality application using pretrained AI algorithms to recognize real space and create site-specific meshes, objects over the real place.

Gold Environment is an augmented reality application using pre-trained AI algorithms to recognize real space and create site-specific meshes all over the real place. Meanwhile the meshes' vertices generate a series of randomly nomadic objects growing up from the wall and the floor chunks. The artwork highlights how augmented reality alters our perceptual dimension of reality, subtracting, adding, blurring and modifying reality to increase the imagination in our real dimension. The audience, through tablets and smartphones (by also tapping wherever on the screen to generate random sound-effects) is invited to look over the real surface, exploring the liminal duality between tangible and virtual place. Gold Environment recreates an ontological vision of the place by speculating on human perception, where the machine creates a generative object-oriented gold texture in continuous transformation all around the viewer. Get ready to enter a hybrid world, another dimension but simultaneous to the IRL one!

Usage: Button: Stop/Run AR button to generate AI gold meshes all over the real place.
Button: Clear Meshes to stop meshes and regenerate new objects growing up from the new chunks. Tap the screen wherever to generate random sound effects all over objects and meshes.
