Client: Miami Dade Art in Public Places, Ivan Depena

Overview

Lapse is a 5-site installation piece by artist Ivan Depena, from a grant through Miami Dade County Art in Public Places and The Knight Foundation. HEAVY was engaged to provide mobile app and augmented reality artist services.

Goals

The artist had previously installed a sculpture for Art in Public Places, which was one of the augmented experiences we created. We also augmented 4 other installations, with sound and visuals to create a 5 station story told across the city of Miami.

Process

We had significant coordination with MD Art in Public Places, as well as fulfilling the artist's vision for the project. The artist had provided a fully spec'ed graphic for each of the 5 installations, which we had to successfully bring to life. Art in Public Places was significantly involved in user testing and feedback on problems/solutions/etc.

Additional Information

Due to technological limitations that are inherent in today's devices, we weren't able to achieve an exact replica of what the artist had envisioned, which we disclosed at the outset of the project. We are continuing to provide updates to the app and as the technology improves, we will improve the art experience.
