Sensus Art

SensUs. Augmented Nature-Cultures

 

Experience is what happens to us. It is a transformative movement that happens in nature, in cultures and in historical contexts. SensUs exhibition uses augmented reality to create new experiences challenging our sensory perception and revealing our fragile connectedness with the environment.

SensUs artists explore the symbiotic relations between social and ecological systems, making visible the invisible processes in urban nature and tracing the historical and contemporary trajectories of nature-culture sites in three cities – Karlsruhe, Riga and Toronto.

 


Artists

The artworks are virtually located in Karlsruhe and Riga and can be experienced using the Sensus Art augmented reality application.
