ATHENS BIENNALE: ECLIPSE
Athens, Greece [2021]
12 Augmented Reality Monuments, 360° VR Experience, Animation Fly-Through
“The 12 Encounters”
The thematic premise of ECLIPSE seeks to assess the implications of identity, history, and cultural complexity within The 7th Athens Biennale, which offers an arena to interrogate many of the ideas, queries, concerns, and desires that are frequently not platformed within a Biennial format.
As such, “The 12 Encounters” re-imagines, through 3D digital monuments, a series of hybrid socio-political, cosmological, cultural and historical converges between Greece and the African continent and it’s Diaspora; from antiquity to the contemporary and from the sacred to the irreverent.
“The 12 Encounters” are presented via augmented reality monuments that are geo-located throughout a variety of sites in downtown Athens and as a 360° VR experience and fly-through animation of a fictional AfroGreek monument park.
