(un)natural augmentations: exploring ways to virtually augment real life lichens
As the pandemic brought the world to a standstill a hopeful eco-centric seed was planted.
Carolien Teunisse and Sabrina Verhage set out to explore this new found respect for our direct organic environment by delving into an artistic collaboration with lichens; surprisingly beautiful organisms that can be found almost anywhere in the city.
(un)natural augmentations aims to let visitors discover the beauty of lichens for themselves by augmenting them with generative virtual art. In this talk Carolien will show how the work is made, what technology is used and how the process took place.
