The connections between old and new media are often underplayed, to the benefit of a binary or opposition: Old/New
Something Between Us has been developed as a downloadable App (use the QR code below) which can easily be installed onto a mobile phone or digital notepad. The App allows the viewer to see my personal, to-scale, printing press through the screen of their device when they point their phone or tablet at a digital print, the print can be installed in any location.
Something Between Us connects the three-dimensional digital space of Augmented Reality to a real-world print on paper.
Seeking to explore the space between antique media and current visual media technology; a printing press and Augmented Reality, I find ample conceptual and material overlap. I see a space between oppositions, a space where binaries are softened. Some have referred to this space as the bind, the spine of a book. I am trying to explore this space.
The work is both; print and digital application. It can be consumed freely as an experience, publicly collected as an unlimited print or privately acquired as a digital application.
Something Between Us is an attempt diversify the binary oppositions of old and new, public and private, material and immaterial.
