An interdisciplinary art project based on emerging media technologies.
Augmented Minimalism is an augmented reality (AR) art project that aims to explore the creative possibilities in combining minimalistic landscape photography, augmented reality and abstract art.
The project was initiated as part of Roland Kraemers’ thesis for the Bachelor of Science degree in his Online Media studies at the Hochschule Furtwangen University.
One of the central elements of his thesis was the creation of an augmented reality pictorial series that’s based on Rolands’ minimalistic photographic work. Through the use of an augmented reality application the photographs get expanded into abstract two-dimensional animations in real time.
The result of this project is a series of eight audio-visual artworks embedded in an abstract theme.
