During the pandemic, I was working on a digital AR fashion show, which got me thinking about the possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR). At the same time, museums and other cultural venues were closed due to lockdowns, leaving a gap in accessible cultural experiences. This inspired me to explore how AR could be used to bring cultural exhibitions into public spaces, creating a safe and open alternative for people to enjoy.

I also noticed a growing need for connection with nature. With lockdowns keeping people locked into their homes, much of life and social interaction shifted behind digital screens, leading to a sense of isolation. This made me reflect on how digital innovation should enhance, not replace, our relationship with the physical world.

Out of these insights, the project DIGI-GO was born: a digital design route through nature. It merges the virtual and physical, offering an engaging way for people to experience both technology and a natural environment with the use of AR.

Together with Glenn Wustlich and Sara van der Peet, I was able to create this AR application, curate all the digital creators and create one of my own installations.
