Artcodes Christmas Advent Calendar

The Horizon Artcodes project team and the Mixed Reality Lab worked with artist Alice Angus and Proboscis to produce a unique augumented reality Christmas Advent Calendar.

This beautifully illustrated, freestanding advent calendar, is traditional in style yet features innovative scannable Artcodes that open digital content. It is fun, customisable, and interactive, designed to use with the Christmas with Artcodes app.

The calendar comes with 24 Artcode stickers you can allocate to any of the doors. Scan them using the Christmas with Artcodes ‘app’ to open photos, videos and other media. Personalise by adding your own digital photographs or links to websites, and share with your family or friends.

Christmas With Artcodes requires iOS 8+ or Android 4.0.3+.

For more information on how to obtain calendars, please email Horizon Digital Economy Research or phone our office on 0115 8232554

Artcodes

Our Artcodes technology allows users to interact with all manner of decorative imagery and patterns. It is triggered using a smart phone with our app. Users simply point the app at an image and the app triggers whatever interaction has been allocated to the code embedded in the image.

ArtMaps

ArtMaps asks you ‘what happens when you try to put a painting on a map?’. Do you try and find the place where the artwork was painted or something else, and what do you do with non-landscape works like abstract paintings?

Try out the ArtMaps platform and see how you would place artworks from the Tate collection on a map and experience art from a new perspective.

wander/anywhere

Wander Anywhere gives artists, walkers, treasure hunters and anyone else with a creative bone the means to create locative media – text, images, videos and audio clips, tied to locations – and drop them outside onto the landscape for others to find.
