AffeXity: Passages & Tunnels (2013)
AffeXity: Passages & Tunnels was an artistic research project exploring affect, memory, and archives. It grew out of the AffeXity collaboration between Susan Kozel and Jeannette Ginslov, an took a dance and choreographic approach to AR with the aim of fostering meaningful relationships between dancers, audience members, archival media, and physical locations. Dance improvisation, screendance techniques for video capture and editing were combined to explore affect in urban spaces. The free AR browser Aurasma was used to suspend the choreographies as hidden layers of media living in physical space. An extra dimension of archival material from the Royal Danish Theatre and Svenska Filmarkivet was added, so that AR became part time-machine and part performance of memory. AR tags were placed all around the outside of the Nikolaj Kunsthal, Copenhagen, allowing audiences using Aurasma on their mobile phones, to access the media. It was a beta performance included in the Re-New Festival 2013.
