Overview

Transcode Gallery was an institution in the form of an augmented reality durational performance. The gallery was experienced through a web-based augmented reality application that viewers accessed through the camera their mobile device directed at a tattoo on the my arm. The piece was made using AR.js and A-Frame to track a tattoo on my arm and apply artwork over top as a performative and body/site specific yet web-based installation space. This project was a continuation of the ideas started in my work A Transmaterial Body and features a tattoo design based off a codification system I created as part of my project Transcode 2015.

The first artist to show at Transcode Gallery was Lorelei d'Andriole. She showed a silent video piece. A screenshot of the work can be found below.
