Urban Noises - Augmented Reality and Urban Art Workshop

This workshop is focused on the use of augmented reality to animate and activate graffitis of the city of Palermo. The main goal is to teach and share knowledge in digital art and augmented reality, using an easy learning process to make digital interfaces accessible to different public, ages and goals. The workshop brings the main discussion of the city as a screen of intangible interventions, using the mobile devices of the participants to overlap their visual creations on the city walls. To make it possible, we will map and photograph some of the main graffiti in the city of Palermo, working with this files to start up the interventions. The workshop outcome consists in a set of animated interactive graffiti, exploiting a free mobile app for passers-by interaction, which allows for a city tour of augmented interactive murals.
