Abstract

Initiated by Walking Arts Research Group, and selected by Catalyst as a major project, SOLAR worked with external partners Wordlife and EpiphanyVR to create a walking app. A scaled down version of the solar system is mapped onto Sheffield, starting with the sun at the Town Hall and ending with Neptune near Ladybower Reservoir. On arrival at each planet, the app will show the user an artwork made about the planet. We will exhibit these artworks during march and April at SIA gallery.
