Interactive Web/Public Space Installation

The mixed reality playground* a spouting proposal for Utrecht is a competition entry for [out of the box; net art and the real world.

For the time of the impakt festival we propose a tingling summer city intervention: a new kind of interactive fountain. It’s navigated ‘out of the box’, but happens on a pedestrian square in Utrecht.

A virtual platform on the internet provides the internet user with the navigation of water fountains spouting from a real platform in the city. Thereby the virtual visitor of the impakt festival can participate physically, giving the real visitor a real sensual delight on site.

The question of surveillance is playfully contextualized in an interactive computer game that mixes (up) realities.

Proposal for the media festival «impakt», in collaboration with Jutta Rossgotterer; not executed.
