Just because it doesn't have ears, doesn't mean that it's not listening

Augmented Reality
just because it doesn't have ears, doesn't mean that it's not listening is a series of augmented reality postcards. The motifs consist of collages of scanned surfaces reminiscent of flowers. A QR code reveals a digital object: pulsating, almost breathing, it hovers above the card and can be viewed from all sides. The work allows the objects to be experienced in space, revealing the relationship between the physical postcard and its digital extension. The combination of analogy, movement, and spatial perspective creates an immediate, sensory encounter with form, surface, and space.
