Augmented Reality and how to access archived media art a counterfactual media art exhibition

Abstract

With an increasing number of site-specific interactive artworks, museums need to question - not only for future generations, but even more importantly, for current audiences - how is it possible to access and preserve archived material. This practice-based research evaluates the possibilities and problems of Augmented Reality as a tool to reactivate archived material with an exemplary investigation at ZKM, Karlsruhe in 2013.
