Virus Buster Offline – The marvels of Code Violet

Gluccie Collaborations (JP)

The scene of *Virus Buster Offline* takes place in Japan in the near future. Through an avatar, people can dive into the Internet world, which has been infected by a brutal computer virus, Code Violet, which must be defeated by the players. The aim of this project is to allow participants to increase their physical activity by using elements of gamification. Participants wear an activity meter to collect points. With continuous participation, points accumulate and characters in the game evolve. This device art work combines the fields of medicine and art.

ARchaeologies

Pedro Soares (PT)

In Archaeologies, we’re faced with a sheet of paper in which an iconic picture from the past was engraved through folding. Observers may use the available materials to produce their own drawings while simultaneously revealing the hidden image. By observing the piece with an Augmented Reality app, we can see the strata that contain each individual citation made by the participants and how every new intervention is conditioned by the ones before it.
