Aquateque is a short film exploring the river Ruhr through a variety of new media technologies. The project combines AI and AR tools to explore sustainable ways of creating digital materials which merge nature and computation.
The diverse ecosystem of the surrounding is captured through audio, visual and 3d programming tools and transformed into a generative augmented space.
About the artists
Studio Above&Below is a London based art and technology practice founded by Daria Jelonek (DE) and Perry-James Sugden (UK) after graduating from the Royal College of Art. Their work combines computational design, speculative storytelling and digital art in order to draw together unseen connections between humans, machines and the environment – working towards better future interactions with our environment. Believing in research based art, Studio Above&Below works with scientists, technologists and communities to push the boundaries of digital media for future living. Over the last years the duo has created ground breaking artworks using immersive technologies such as AR and MR with live data inputs in order to make the invisible visible and give our environment a voice to express itself.
