Digital Fragments is merging humans, technology and space and establishes an environment offering a playful dialog between the visitors and the system.

We attempt to offer a tangible experience culminating in a user generated environment that represents the intimate relationships in which the interactors engaged themselves in order to leave their own digital fragment behind.

We will create a mixed reality environment, in which visitors can navigate through and explore within the overlapping of virtual and physical space as well as of past and present states.

The combination of physical and digital information and processes create a particular digital aesthetic. The aim is to provoke a dialog between the active visitor and fragments left behind, where certain codes of behavior will result in corresponding reactions of the system. Those reactions follow physical constraints and real world behaviour.
The physical presence and movements of the visitors in the installation space will be tracked, transmitted and integrated in the digital representation space. Digital Fragments creates an intermediate space between real space and virtual space, presence and presentation. The result is a constantly changing co-creation, where the interactor can challenge his possibilities in a given set of rules.

In order to fully unfold, Digital Fragments requires the engagement of the audience.
It is an interactive environment, which only develops itself through the process of user participation. Visitors can independently choose through their behaviour how intense their influence on the system will be.

With technology supporting the extension of personal space, the body of the visitor becomes the performative tool as he enters the room.
This way barriers between visitor and technology are broken down, the transition from visitor to interactor is seamless. Passive observers become constructive and productive participants. We envision people moving cautiously and curiously through the environment, observing and learning how the system works and reacts to their presence. Digital Fragments aims to convey moments of surprise and wonderment and wishes to offer an inspiring experience that results in a jointly creation.
