This project is closely linked to System, Structure & Defragmentation and was realized within the framework of the Artificial Museum — a decentralized, international art initiative developed by the System Collective. The concept: artworks placed directly into landscapes via GPS, viewable only through augmented reality, challenging the boundaries of public space and exhibition formats.
For the opening exhibition The System, I was invited to create a site-specific digital soap bubble — an ephemeral sculpture translated into 3D, reflecting the beauty and fragility of real bubbles in a virtual medium. The AR-Bubble is based on some of my real bubbles that were filmed and then turned into a 3D object. (Soap Bubble: MissBubblebliss, 3D implementation Litto & Jascha Ehrenreich/TheSystemCollective.)
From November 2020 to the end of January 2021, my AR Bubble Structure was accessible worldwide. Users across Europe and Asia visited the work in open space, sending back visual impressions — a selection of which you’ll find in the gallery below. Today, the bubble is located in Vienna.
This project explored the potential of new technologies to enable artistic collaboration and exchange across languages and borders — at a time when physical travel and exhibitions were largely impossible.
