Overview
Produced for the tenth anniversary of the Échangeur 22 residency, this augmented reality application extends a screen-printed catalogue beyond the page. Readers can discover layered documentation and creative material through their phone or tablet.
Challenge
The challenge was connecting diverse digital assets to a physical publication while preserving the design and tactility of the printed catalogue. Tracking had to remain dependable across printed artwork and everyday viewing conditions.
Development
The mobile AR application links recognised catalogue imagery to text, audio, GIFs and 3D models of residency spaces. Development focused on integrating the assets and building a simple, responsive way to navigate the additional material.
Outcome
The project transformed a commemorative printed publication into an interactive archive, connecting ten years of artistic residency activity to accessible digital content.
