Using Emergent Media to Tell Street Stories
We have been working with local agency Arch Creative to bring AR to a new vacant units project. Street Stories is designed to improve the appearance of empty shops in the city centre and turn them into points of interest.
Media technology and project support: Graffio Arts. Project conception and design: Arch Creative
THE PROJECT
BID Leicester supported local agency Arch Creative to deliver a new vacant units project, designed to improve the appearance of empty shops in the city centre and turn them into points of interest.
Working with ten local artists spanning a range of styles and mediums, Street Stories celebrates the innovative achievements of pioneering people from Leicester, and also explores some powerful themes including human rights, the environment, consumerism and identity.
BRINGING THE STORY TO STREET STORIES
We worked with Arch to bring augmented reality technology to the project. We also provided a framework solution that enables Street Stories to go to other towns and cities, all within one, new app.
