Author: Dmitry Bulatov and Alexey Chebykin Year: 2011 Url: Description: That Which Lives In Me is an installation that uses Augmented Reality technologies to enable dynamic rearrangement of real and virtual spaces. Drawing on the metaphor of a snail’s “shell house”, they have “augmented” real shells of Achatina fulica giant African snails with a certain analogue of “electronic aura” – an interactive layer of digital visual information. This information is output to the screen in real time, its appearance determined by behaviour of the snails: the dynamics of their movements inside the terrarium and the intensity of their inter-communication.
