The creation and placement of AR art is integral to provoking an experience
and causing a shift in perception. Conception, presence and communication is
established through an aesthetic juncture. Placing the object in a particular setting
co-locates aesthetic production, social milieu and subversive confrontation. AR
affords an opportunity for an experience that facilitates an earnestness of space and
place in the community. AR artwork helps to establish a relationship to city, alters
that space and invites spectacle. That experience situates consciousness and forms
memories of the artwork that reconfigures the self, the object as a place and the
overall location.
