The project will be presented at the Surrey Art Gallery January 2015
If you are interested in participating in a scene please contact 
Paulo Majano  paulo.majano@kpu.ca


Description:
The installation includes an almost life size wood Park Table  and video content visible using a smartphone or tablet. When viewers look at the table using an augmented reality app, they can see a scene with video characters interacting and moving around the wood table. 

Scenes:
1 Historical -
Based on historical photographs from the Surrey archives collection. 
Some images from Stan McKinnon or Roy Houghton photographs from archives.
Scene in Black and white or sepia tones.
Scene Duration  45sec to 1.5 minutes

2 - Families or groups from Surrey today - footage of an outdoor scene of families at the table – picnic, family gathering, etc. People will stop for a photograph for a moment and resume talking, scene fades out

Scene duration 45 sec to 1 min
____________
 
Process: 
Participants will be filmed in front of a blue screen background – one person's performance at a time, or two actors in interaction at once. 

Other elements of the scenes: some characters in the distance - and the background videos are footage of events in surrey set in an outdoor location (rallies, outdoor concert, celebration, crowd). The personal scene in the foreground is set against the public event footage.

About 

The images made for this project create a portrait of the people and the area South of the Fraser by depicting aspects of everyday life set against the backdrop of the local landscape.

These images recreate the drama of everyday events set against the backdrop of public outdoor spaces and parks in the area. These are scenes observed, remembered, and imagined from the traces of human activity left on the landscape.   

When each photograph is viewed with a smartphone or tablet using an augmented reality app it becomes a three dimensional image where  the viewer can look into the scene and behind objects to see elements that are not visible in the printed photograph.

The viewer becomes an active participant, able to reframe the photograph to include elements left out of the original composition, potentially revealing new layers of meaning .

About Augmented Reality (AR)
Augmented Reality is a technology that allows the overlay of digital content such as 3D graphics, images, or video, over views of the world in real time. In this project, the photographs can be viewed as interactive three-dimensional images when viewed with a Smartphone (or digital tablet) and the AR App Junaio. Using the smarphone camera, viewers can look into the scene, and see it from different points of view to reveal elements that are not visible in the photograph, they assume the role of photographer as they choose where to look.
