Building an interactive digital application, where users can link locations via google map and their memories and the applications is an experimental interface to interact with. A next step would be to mint the artworks, tracking information on the blockchain for ownership of the digital remnant of the physical location via tracking.
Semester project developed during the Summer Semester 2023 as a guest student in the Digital Graphics class (Christoph Knoth & Konrad Renner class) at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK).
Questions about the reproducibility, aura of a material place and its traceability become visible with the help of tracking technologies and offer the possibility of being viewed and changed interactively.
Can the attachment of a place to its location break down and expand, and through digital possession expand, bypass physical boundaries and enable new perspectives, or do our technologies only serve as liminal space for material reality?
