Slimetech: Genius Loci
Unity, ARKit, ARCore
Genius Loci is a Large Scale, Site Specific Augmented Reality
Installation, adapted for various locations, based on a playful
misinterpretation of the concept of Genius Loci (or Spirit of Place).
A large Creature with character will be residing inside the given
space, floating around, relaxing or talking to itself and the
audience. The Creature is arrogant, sexy, snarky, sometimes obnoxious
but also cute and lovable. The Creature will be visible through
Augmented Reality on mobile devices and the audience will be able to
play with it using touch-screen interactions. This encounter with the
humorous and the sublime will be a collective viewing experience that
aims to bring people together.
