Data’s Hidden Drain: Revealing Underwater Supply Networks through Mixed Reality
Workshop with Dagmar Schürrer, for adults aged 18 and over
This hands-on two-day workshop led by artist Dagmar Schürrer will introduce participants to the development of spatial Mixed Reality (MR) applications using the Unity game engine. With the latest generation of Extended Reality headsets, we can create hybrid spaces where digital and physical realms blend almost seamlessly.
Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how this technology works and get practical insights into MR development – no programming experience required.
We’ll take as our conceptual starting point the search for accessible metaphors to help communicate the growing water consumption driven by AI technologies. Through the MR experience, participants will make water supply systems visible and interactive, using modular systems of digital objects to build and explore hybrid environments. The workshop opens up new perspectives on this urgent topic through immersive visualisation.
