Abstract:

  • “Site of Reversible Destiny Yoro AR” is an appreciation tool that can be used in the facility “Site of Reversible Destiny Yoro ” (1995-) which is the art works by Shusaku Arakawa + Madeline Gins and is also a park anyone can enter. The main feature of this art works/park is that visitors are made aware of the sense of balance of the body. One purpose of this application is to let users know their concept more deeply by showing artists’ idea left behind as CG or drawing including the plan which did not realize in the real space.
    However, the purpose of the application is more than just a viewing tool. It works as a collaborative research platform of researchers, artists, software engineers by interrelation of reinterpretation of the work from the viewpoint of art history and the development of outdoor AR system. This article contributes to the discussion related to the results of publishing this application on Yoro Art Picnic held at the Yoro Park in Gifu Prefecture, Japan on November 3 and 4, 2018.
