In Darwin\u2019s Garden is a large-scale augmented reality (AR) artwork by Chris Meigh-Andrews and myself using AR to view an array of digital images sited within a physical framework. This was an early adaptation of AR and I explored using phones, tablets and AR glasses during its development. I also had to be responsive to the rapidly changing software which meant the remediation of the artwork for each iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artwork was at a scale that when presented with the physical framework users would move through and around the digital element. Providing the viewer with different tools I observed the differences in embodied engagement with this AR environment and began to discuss this further as augmented reality developed into mixed reality possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These links show some of those exhibitions and papers as well as a more detailed discussion of the original form for the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n
