Assistance animals welcome, Low sensory / relaxed, Seating available, Wheelchair accessibleThe Eleventh Planet is an Augmented Reality (AR) experience overlaying a polished steel sphere sculpture, where viewers access interactive 3D animated artwork via a downloadable app. The sculpture explores ideas of the life of the solar system, and how the building that hosts the sculpture is part of the material inheritance of that life. The work represents the gentle arcing motion of the Sun, planets, and moons across compositions of virtual media. Within this scheme is glimpsed an imagined world – the Eleventh Planet.
Using AR technology, viewers will experience the gentle transformation of elemental and planetary states over vast spans of geological time: from their origins to the present and beyond. With a futuristic interface, users become cosmic travellers; enabling those encountering the sculpture to explore across vast expanses of time and space.
This site-specific AR experience transforms the 3m diameter chrome sphere sculpture into a series of interactive 3D animated artworks. These artworks depict evolving worlds ready to be explored, inspired by the materiality of the cosmos and deep time.
The AR experience is activated in an app by the bluestone tiles that Mott and Power designed for the work’s concrete plinth. To activate the AR artwork experience, users need simply to follow the prompts:
- Direct your and smart-device’s camera at the tiled walls under the sphere sculpture
- Once the App is downloaded no wi-fi or cellular connectivity is necessary.
- Explore the Eleventh Planet
