The Augmented Reality artwork Consequences uses the smart phone or tablet as a threshold through which one can migrate from the real world into an augmented world where consequences of the past, present and future of the Stavanger harbor emerge. Consequences reflects the current state of the human experience. As we spend more time looking into our handheld screens for answers rather than looking at and listening to the physical world around us, as we move through our respective environments, we transmigrate towards a digital self. This AR experience uses virtual particles to blur the physical world of the Stavanger harbor with virtual mist, water geysers, oil slicks, light beams and extreme weather conditions.
In addition to viewing Consequences on this app from the locations indicated on the map, the AR can also be viewed from inside the Stavanger concert hall 2nd floor lobby by looking through a pair of goggles – a “ThingOscope” – designed by the artist.
