After reading the Augmented Space essay I was interested in looking for examples of the data dimension overlayed over the physical world. I thought this was an interesting installation in Beijing China. Although I couldn’t find very much information about this installation, also the worlds largest LED TV screen, I found it quite fascinating. The overhead space of a shopping plaza is filled with numerous different themes and sequences of video. From a projection of the sky, satelites and stars, to ocean scenes, this installation creates a bridge between the physical space in which we interact and takes us part of the way to that new phenomenon dimension of Augmented Space. There is a similar installation on Freemont street in the old main strip of Las Vegas which fills the space with audio visual shows and advertisements alike. This installation, I think, goes fittingly with the Augmented Space essay and challenges the conventional reality of the physical world versus the alter-reality of data space.
