Kleiner Gottesgarten app for iPhone and iPad

Кleiner Gottesgarten

Augmented Reality exhibition in the Kleiner Tiergarten in Berlin Moabit with Scope Berlin and Ortstermin Moabit.

Pia vom Ende, Tobias Groot, Martina Menegon, Dennis Rudolph. Curated by Boris Kostadinov.

The project combines in a symbiosis the works of several remarkable artists working in the field of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. The idea is to present their works in the public space offered by the Kleiner Tiergarten in Moabit. This public park combines all the diversity of the neighborhood. There are a picnic area, places for sports and social activity of communities of a very different nature. That is why, on the one hand, the project "confronts" the ideas and attitudes towards the visual culture and technologies of the citizens, and on the other hand, the "artificial" reality seeks its deliberate integration into the public space.

Кleiner Gottesgarten will take place through a special app that viewers will download and use it to observe what is happening around them. The action relies on the democratic principle of voluntary involvement of participants. At a specially selected place in the park (the small fountains near the corner of Stromstraße and Turmstraße), a sign will be placed, which will be a symbolic meeting place. The "invisibility" for those who do not have an app in their smartphones will become an exciting and impactful artistic experience for those who would like to download it and to join the action. Through the screens the participants will be able to observe and of course actively interact with the dynamic environment of the project. They will discover a new world of digital gods.

The meaning of Kleiner Gottesgarten is that it includes in a casual and non-didactic way contemporary art in the everyday life and activities of the inhabitants of a particular public space. This project has the meaning of an interactive social sculpture offering dialogue, experience and the opportunity for artistic expression of the general public.
We are convinced that Kleiner Gottesgarten would be in line with the overall program of ORTSTERMIN 22, focusing on the construct of art and technology, but also placing it in a broad public context.
