Installation + augmented reality / 2024

Kalyug

A physical world.
A digital reckoning.

Design breakdown / concept drawings

A world built in layers.

Use physical form and a digital layer to examine unchecked development.

Project image for Start with the form01 / Model

Start with the form

The digital model establishes the layered structure and its arrangement.

The design choice

Architecture and figures need to read as part of one world.

Project image for Make the layers physical02 / Assemble

Make the layers physical

Cut sections come together into a suspended sculpture, with details wrapping around the core.

The design choice

Material, surface and suspension shape how the work is encountered.

Project image for Look through another layer03 / Reveal

Look through another layer

Visitors use a tablet to explore the augmented-reality component alongside the physical installation.

The design choice

The screen changes the reading of an object already in the room.
