BIGGAR. World sized AR sculpture by Sander Veenhof.
Biggar is an augmented reality sculpture by dutch designer Sander Veenhof that is the world’s largest interactive sculpture. The sculpture expands by one meter each day in its virtual presence. people may view the sculpture though their mobile phones by scanning an ar pattern using the app layar. once scanned, the viewer will see a set of colourful floating blocks in the sky. these blocks are located in a rigid pattern all over the world, allowing anyone, anywhere to view the piece. Veenhof is expanding the project by one meter each day so that at some point, the blocks will be so high in the sky that they are not visible anymore. The hope is that viewers will realize they need to view biggar quickly, before is expands out of sight.
Tree of Codes. Book by Jonathan Safran Foer, design by Sara De Bondt Studio. As much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling.
With the story literally carved out of another book, Tree of Codes has a different die-cut on every single page. Telling the haunting story of “an enormous last day of life”, it is a book that looks every bit like it feels: unlike anything else.

Amazing: Enigmatica. An experimental platform for the combination of light, sound and space in order to develop immersive synthasthetic environments. By Kit Webster.
Beautiful: Augmented Sculpture by Grosse8 and Lichtfront.
The core of the installation is a 2,5m tall wooden sculpture that builds the screen for a 360° projection with virtual content. The projection constantly augments the sculptures outside within a 2:32 min. long, dramaturgically structured edit of video content to a track by musician Jon Hopkins. The sculpture becomes a mirror of changing realities. As a result, a kind of real virtuality arises to confront virtual reality.
