Interview: Merle Karp on AR, Installation & Personal Mixed Reality | Unframed

Описание: Unframed: AR for Artmakers is an Erasmus+ supported collaboration between TIcAS (Finland) and De Structura (Estonia) exploring how augmented reality can expand contemporary art practice. The AR Guide is based on hands-on experience from hackathons, exhibitions, and public interventions, offering practical and curatorial insights into working with AR in real contexts.

In this interview, Merle reflects on her attraction to video and installation as durational and spatial media. She describes how AR resonates with this interest by allowing viewers to explore a work through movement, perspective, and time. For her, augmented reality creates immersive experiences that can unfold gradually and be discovered from different angles. She also highlights the personal dimension of mobile AR, where viewers can document and share mixed reality moments, becoming both participant and director within the scene. AR, in this sense, extends installation into an intimate and playful digital space.
