“We took a playful approach to the app, drawing inspiration from a mixture of old point-and-click games and newer games such as Pokémon Go and Geocaching. A fictional narrative introduces users to the app and the world of the exhibition. A map guides them through the city and shows the individual exhibition locations – which object can be seen where and when. However, the main focus lies on the chat function. The artworks are brought to life in the individual chats. They become entities in their own and tell of their stories, distant futures and parallel presents. In addition, location-based group chats can be activated on site via GPS. I am very excited to see how these will be used and how they will develop over the course of the project. In the group chats, users can exchange ideas about the works and the locations. Ideally, local groups will form here to discuss their ideas and even take action.”
