Participatory Augmented Reality Public Art Project.
"Goldsegen (Golden Blessings)" - How much do you need to be happy?
This project engages and questions the mechanisms of consumption and their promises of happiness. The artist posed the question "How much do you need to be happy?" to people sitting in or walking through the Rindermarkt Square in Munich. In exchange for writing their answers on a whiteboard, the artist made an Augmented Reality photo of them holding their answer in a shower of lucky gold Euro coins. The photo was printed out on the spot as a credit-card sized lucky charm and given to the participant to take home.
