Blonde_Blotch 4+

The Augmented Reality application Blonde_Blotch is a collection of mixed reality Architectural Objects that allow for an extension of physical space with the virtual. This space acts as a provocation of new approaches in design, technology, and discourse. Interactable + Playable, these objects add a digital layer to the narrative of our city.

“Art is thinking in images”, says Viktor Shklovsky, Art as Technique. The idea is to apprehend objects only as shapes with imprecise extensions; we do not see them in their entirety but rather recognize them by their main characteristics. Blonde_blotch is an ongoing collection of speculative Architectural Objects and started as a part of the #everyday sub-culture existing on Instagram. The page features objects with some emotions.

“Art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony”.

This project is an extension of Smarter Digital Realities an online residency program with artists reflecting upon how cities have grown to be mediated by the digital. Supported by TIFA Working Studios and Goethe Institute Pune.
