AR Graffiti 3.0 Toolkit
The AR Graffiti 3.0 Toolkit generates interactive visuals based on the audience’s movements, which frame and adapt to the outlines (contours) of physical murals, accompanied by an audio composition that harmonizes with the visuals.
WERC combines countless different graffiti elements into one cohesive mural to showcase and develop the versatility of their toolbox.
The AR Graffiti Toolkit is part of the AR Graffiti installation series. With the “AR Graffiti” series, WERC takes graffiti and street art to new dimensions. Graffiti is brought to life through video projections, where WERC applies the principles of digital media and explores the possibilities of augmented reality (AR) to elevate the aesthetics of street art.
The AR Graffiti Toolkit makes the endless number of choices a graffiti artist faces visible and transforms a static graffiti piece into an interactive and dynamic image, allowing the audience to modify the visuals and create compositions. With the AR Graffiti Toolkit, different choices can coexist, overlap, and interact simultaneously through the public’s involvement.
WERC makes this toolkit available as open-source, developing tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations, so anyone interested in digital art and/or graffiti can make their voice heard in the (digital) public space.
We invite interested parties to use the toolkit themselves in a video tutorial, which illustrates new possibilities in the creative process and encourages experimentation and further development.
