#Urbana Natura in_hancing_The_Augmented

#Urbana Natura in_hancing_The_Augmented & vice versa is an augmented audio-visual installation, an “Out of Nature into Urban Augmented Space & Back again” exhibition.

The ensemble of nature, urban and augmented spaces shows the already existing deep interweaving of these seemingly independent levels and forms of life.

The augmented installation is created with various materials in the real exhibition space of the Hofkabinett Gallery. Patterns have been essential in the digital STATION ROSE (STR) image and sound language since 1988. Patterns from 1988-2019 are used in U >< N<>I<<<T>> A. Nature also appears as patterns, urban plants are fed into the microscope by Elisa Rose. Nature has long played an important role and its integration into urban space is extremely necessary. STR has coined the terms “Digital Land Art,” “Urban Digital Land Art” and “Nature Is Cool/ NiC.” Gary Danner’s electronic music reflects his decades of involvement with subcultural and serious music.

The virtual augmentation (Artivive App) creates another space – U >< N<>I<<T>> A.
