By presenting the process of developing an augmented reality (AR) installation, the paper explores the transformative potential of AR as a mediation tool in the context of a multifaceted socio-cultural issue. Focused on the removal of a 120-year-old Atlas cedar from a municipal park in the German town of Ratingen, the study employs research through design (RtD) approach, combining qualitative field research and digital documentation. The AR application serves as a platform for location-based storytelling, aiming to foster dialogue among citizens, scientists and city officials through a multi-perspective approach. As the project envisions a future where AR serves as a potent tool for mediating intricate societal challenges, this paper adds to the ongoing discourse regarding the convergence of technology, nature, and public engagement.

The goal of the Goethe project was to digitally resurrect one of the most influential German poets of all time. By means of modern technology, we created a virtual image of Goethe’s life mask, offering visitors a novel way to approach the poet.
In collaboration with Kainkollektiv and Sputnik, we created a digital monastery, growing as a hybrid of online exhibition and archive about the history of Kassia and the feminist movement.
The AR App ‟Feen” (Fairies) was developed by the MIREVI team of the HSD in collaboration with the Ballett am Rhein. The project was part of a joint participation in the world’s first AR Biennial, hosted by the museum Kunstpalast/NRW Forum Düsseldorf.
The dance piece and choreographic installation Spheres is an artistic research project at the intersection of dance, philosophical discourse on bodies and agency. Five spherical robots move seemingly independently alongside three dancers in the exhibition space and open the dialogue on connections and physicalities of different agents. The installation focuses on the exchange between human and other beings and on the question of how movement can be transformed within and through different bodies by decomposing interaction principles and artistic discourse.
In the interactive participatory dance performance 1250 Mb/s produced by fabien prioville dance company and technically developed by MIREVI, the audience enters into a physical game with the dancers, making the process of data collection tangible.
