Midbar Art Installation

The Installation

Midbar is an audio-visual interactive installation utilizing augmented reality technology. In this installation, the spectator experienced a 15 minute interactive adventure about immigration and relocation by observing physical sets while listening to the narrator and interacting with AR content on an iPad. I strongly understood multi-disciplinary artist Rachel Weiss' feelings and urgency to create this installation celebrating the merging of cultures in a multi-sensory installation.

The main goal is to invite the spectator to cogitate about the complex identity of immigrants. The installation includes intimate storytelling  from a narrator's experience, entering the artist’s world. The narrator creates a trajectory guiding the spectator though the installation.

My Role

• Built physical sets including a model living room and a bedouin tent, under the direction of the artist.
• Set up three projection mapping areas.
• Created 3D text assets that appeared in AR.
• Programmed sound bites to match the timing of the user's position in the installation.
