Assignment 5

Due 5/14 Augmented Reality work – piece of public art, Artist interventions in public space were formerly relegated to one of two strategies: officially approved and funded work, and guerilla interventions. AR provides an opportunity for individual interpretations of public space to become available to a broad audience and makes it possible for alternative histories, political statements, and artistic mediations to be widely seen and heard. With these ideas in mind, create a piece that “tags” one or more locations in Chicago’s loop.
