ASSETS, 2021

ASSETS was a multi-platform project led by artist David Beattie across various sites in Dublin city centre from the 15th of October – 19th December 2021.

Through a series of interactions with physical, augmented and virtual objects, ASSETS examines the role of the human hand in image recognition and digital technologies. The project discusses the complex network of physical and non-physical interactions we experience, thinking about haptic feedback from physical and virtual objects, and what might get lost in between.

 The project included an augmented reality app, a printed publication with commissioned texts by Laurence Counihan and Róisín Power Hackett, an exhibition of physical objects and commissioned artworks by Cillian Finnerty and Ellie Niblock.

Supported by the Arts Council, Dublin City Council and the Science Gallery Dublin.
