      Dream Garden

      Matt Roberts and Terri Witek / USA

      Dream Garden is a site-specific augmented reality project to gather, graft and nurture a city's dreams. Each time a city dweller texts a 7-word dream (a poetic form moving private experience into public space), that dream automatically joins others both in a “garden” (a designated physical location in the city) and online at inthedreamgarden.com.

      Temporary and distributed libraries, Breaking boundaries, creating new resources

      Alessandro Ludovico / Italy

      Two of the possible approaches to start this kind of process, which would be meant to open and socialize even more the library system, is to create “temporary libraries”, in order to fill specific knowledge needs during cultural events becoming then permanent, and “ distributed libraries”, in order to integrate relevant collections of specialized knowledge accumulated elsewhere in the traditional library system without structurally intervening in it.

      California Drought Impact

      Yoon Chung Han and Shankar Tiwari / USA

      California has been experiencing its most severe drought in the past five years. Drought has affected water changes, biological phenomenon and the ecosystem, which has become an inspiration and great resource for artists and designers because it had a significant impact on sustainability and the environment. These questions and issues have been our inspirations, and we create an interaction tool to depict the causes and impact of the drought and promote awareness of water consumption and ecosystem.

      Ko Rangi, Ko Papa, Ka Puta Ko Rongo

      Jo Tito, Jamie Berry and Josiah Jordan / New Zealand

      The artwork seeks to create a peaceful space where we can explore the nature of our universal connection through shared genetic code. DNA is the technology of life, and the piece uses modern technology to express our biological code in novel, accessible ways. By transforming the raw DNA sequence data for a set of individuals into music, and sampling a single chromosome from each person to create the final composition, our individuality and collective connectedness are simultaneously celebrated.
