After reading the assignment, it let me understand the artist’s relationship to an augmented space. With increasing technological achievements as a society, the extent of accomplishing a work of art associated with technology will have no boundaries.

This information is likely to be in multimedia form and it it often localized for each user. Some examples of Particular Urban Spaces are environments such as shopping and entertainment areas…

By the time I made it through the half of the article I could not help but think that the way author describes the use of augmented space reminds me of medieval time Christian religion propaganda. The parallel that I had in mind was obviously with the massive transmission of commercial related information onto the…

After reading this interesting article, I realized that even though I never heard of  “augmented space,” I have experienced such spaces before.

His favorite thing to photograph is naked women. He doesn’t title his work, preferring to focus on the content…

Liquid Space 6.0 is an interactive space which physically becomes bigger, smaller and brighter in relation to human behavior. This interactive fusion of mechanisms, embedded electronics, sound and LED’s creates an organic dialogue with its visitors.

This is a little old, but I feel that it’s very interesting and relevant. Some people figure out how to get inside a road sign to change the text and publish the details. It describes what we see as private vs. public information, and how access to that information has changed with technology. I think…
