Professional proposal Working Draft

Working title : Habel

Artist statement

Think about the Ephemerality of the human experience and the the limitations of human activity and human wisdom. As time passes is it an illusion that life has meaning, purpose and significance in the grand scheme of eternity. Is our existance based solely on the fleeting present, on the self, on expression or through the experience of connection. Everything that exists has been and what no longer exists has been only existed a little longer than what has not existed. 

Sculpture details

The intended artwork will be employed using an geolocation augmented reality mobile phone application. The application will enable the visitors to view and interact with the artwork, which will comprise of 100 human figures located along the shoreline of corrumbin beach  (refer to image 3) and spacial audio components which engage with osillating theta wave frequencies and glossolalia. As the participant moves along currumbin beach with the app the figures and audio fade in and out of existance. 

The application will be hosted by the artists server as well as google play store and apple store and made publicly accessible inkind by the artist.

There are no physical space requirements for the artwork as the application is triggered by virtual geolocation markers (refer to image 4). Meaning, that the artwork alters depending on the location of the participant.

A marketing campaign will be included to raise awareness of the works existance due to the nature of augmented reality. In that it is invisible to the naked eye and requires active engagement. This will be provided inkind by the artist and include social media and printed media publications.
