Mixed reality allows creativity in built landscapes in harmony with urban placemaking structures, not impeding the framed views that locate the user.

Re-Frame utilises sculptural placemaking interventions to explore the relationship between public and private experiences in dense urban pedestrian spaces through interactive mixed-reality (MR) structures. The project considers the potential that mixed-reality offers to reinvigorate and humanise public spaces deemed untouchable, providing city dwellers with agency to occupy and engage with imaginative outlets. The structures alter perspective through passive user performance and activation whilst, MR invites playful community interaction with digital art and the built landscape.
