Augmented Studies
Program for Contemporary Art & Augmented Reality
Augmentas is an AR program exporing the potential of Augmented Reality for cultural interaction. Our research is focused on the development of the medium Augmented Reality for new artistic productions. We work on a series of public art projects and a collaborative program for artistic experiments via Augmented Reality (AR). Launched 2018 as an educational project in Berlin, the program operates now internationally in support of artists, institutions and scholars.
During my walks through Freiburg, I came across a small commemorative plaque at Martinstor, marking the history of the "Hexenverbrennung in 1599", the burning of accused witches.
This AR object is a monument made out of burnt bread, and the snake is a witch’s familiar. In 16th-century Southwestern Germany, the active persecution of witches was connected to periods of hunger, and socio-economic crisis.
This object, rooted in the past, links historic violence against women with the present rise of right-wing ideology in different parts of the world.
Who are today's new scapegoats, being cast out, vilified and condemned?
