Live Architectures is a series of digital and interactive artworks created over time in a wide-range production developed to reshape the indoor and the outdoor architecture and environmental places as well as the ‘digital environment’, transforming it into something alive and vibrant. This series of site-specific artworks is created and usable exclusively on Google Earth. Through the augmented reality technology, the artwork aims to create an extemporary-temporary virtual land-art, constructing a sort of "mise en abyme" or “droste effect”, in which an element shifts the other in depth, merging the Google earth environment with the augmented area in order to create a new space.
“Predicting in augmented space” http://www.chiarapassa.it/Predictinginaugmentedspace.html invites the viewer to use the Augmented Reality technology on Google Earth browser to discover an oddity atmosphere inhabited by some drones trapped into rotating snowglobes crossing the sky area of Google Earth – in the meantime the sun transforming itself by changing face through the emoticons gestures reflecting and communicating the beliefs of some pseudo-indigenous peoples on earth. So, why to map these beliefs using traditional instruments as i.e. the model of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey? “Predicting in augmented space” is an expanded visualization of an imaginary map reflecting conventionalisms!
