Inundation
Would your home be flooded if water levels increased to NAP?
With the help of Augmented Reality software, and the video camera of a mobile device, it is possible to add location-specific elements to reality.
The water levels in the Netherlands are artificially kept down to be able to use the land below sea level. I used Augmented Reality to show this hidden truth. Through the ‘Inundation app’, a visual confrontation with the water level could be experienced, as if the water flowed freely. Anywhere in the Netherlands it was possible to verify if your location would be flooded, and if so, how high the water would reach.
The idea for this work was created in cooperation with Karina Pálosi.
