As part of Brookly based new-media artist Peter Burr's solo exhibition Responsive Eye at Telematic Media Arts in San Franscisco, Amay Kataria collaborated with him to create Kids Games - an Augmented Reality project that reconstructs Pieter Bruegel's sixteenth century painting “Kinderspiele”, where hundreds of adult-looking children absorb themselves in foolish games. The digital work is superpositioned on a real-world sculptural space prepared as an intersection of three custom planar grids, through the lens of a portable tablet. On the outskirts of this static arrangement, a solitary figure restlessly explores.
The project is developed using Unity's ARFoundation framework and runs on iOS and Android devices.
