RetraiteDigital 2020 Augmented Reality Artwork

Published 2020-08-17
I would like to share my Augmented Reality Art Project with you. Submitted for the Art Festival 'Festival Of The Impossible' but never even reviewed... a shame? tell me.

‘Retraite Digital’ by Martijn Hage

Identity and the Meaning of Home

My story:
I keep asking myself the same question.
What does my home look like when I want to seclude and detox myself from the digital age?
Inspired by the ancient anchorites, people who withdrew from society and chose to live without the distractions of the world, I imagine my home as a kind of Faraday cage, shielding and blocking off all kind of human influence, so no form of religion, ideology or social media can penetrate and poison my mind.

What do I essentially need?
A place to shelter, eat, drink and sleep, but most of all a place to create my artwork.
Surely you understand I don’t want any visitors to my real home, so instead be welcome in my virtual home named 'Retraite Digital'.
