About the work

Weird Weather uses augmented reality to embed digital relics into the natural landscape of the Kingston Foreshore. Visitors are invited to download a mobile phone application and interact with the work through digital drawing and finding animated imagery at site-specific locations. Referencing weather and mapping, it plays with motifs that are often encountered as ‘information’ but that represent ideas that are also experienced on an individual and personal level with memories, stories, and emotions. Through augmented reality experiences, the app playfully explores the increasingly entangled intersection between people’s digital and physical lives.

Weird Weather is a collection of ARartworks that reimagine extreme weather events in Canberra’s history. Visitorsare invited to download a mobile phone application for iPhones and iPads, andinteract with the work through finding animated imagery on site.
