IUXTAIUXTA is participatory augmented reality network that has

been evolving across the world. Come and explore!

IUXTA consists of an immersive interactive projection,

which when paired with a custom mobile application

developed by the artist, creates a viewer activated virtual

environment in the gallery and surrounding region.

The audience will encounter and navigate a virtual

network made up of nodes. A node is symbolised by

a green sphere and represents a sound bite. As more

people in your region access the network, it becomes

populated with more nodes.

Viewers are invited to participate and contribute to a

growing local narrative. Each time an individual logs

into the app, the order of the nodes rearranges and the

sequence in which stored audio fragments are played

back changes.

Once visitors have accessed the network in the gallery

they are encouraged to take the app to other locations

around the region. Using the apps add node function

anyone can generate additional audio nodes.

In an included workshop, Andrew Burrell will work

with participants to collect original sounds from their

environment and insert them into the network for others

to hear.
