DIGITAL BUSKERS
INTERACTIVE DIGITAL OUT-OF-HOME
Aotea Square | Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand
DOTDOT created the interactive installation Digital Buskers for an inner city arts precinct in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Passersby are invited to turn a crank to open the curtain that reveals one of eight local street performers. Each of their performances are set in unique virtual worlds. When the experience ends, the curtain closes until someone turns the crank again.
A web app accompanies the experience. A QR code on the plinth with the crank directs the audience to a dedicated webpage. The landing page invites you to know more about the artist currently playing on the screen. Photos, information and links to their social media platforms are displayed. The audience is also encouraged to share their appreciation for the performance by sending emojis to the public screen. Artists have the option to embed a donation function into their page.
