D-viations traces pathways in the derelict industrial and commercial buildings of Athens thus creating an interactive map. Viewers explore these sites; virtually navigating their way through documentary means, namely photos, sounds and reference data.
Inviting collaborations via social networks, this continuously evolving project aims to create deviations from the standard points of interest in the athenean map and encourage alternative ways of experiencing urban reality. Sites that carry the history of the city and stand now out of use and sight are entered, documented and mediated.
D-viations partially embraces the look and feel of an adventure point-and-click game resulting in a user friendly and playful application.
Kentro Apokentro is an Athens-based visual art group formed in 2009.
The group specifically invests in researching into the hidden history of the city and revealing the ways that have formed and continue to form the city as an environment and a lived reality. For the research needs the group collaborates with a wide range of people and specialists of diverse disciplines.
We present our work in group exhibitions, organize lectures and workshops. Our latest project has been the organization of the well-received Hidden Athens project intending to provoke discussions about the city and its future.
The proposed d-viations project is specifically taken up by Katerina Papazissi, visual artist, Pavlos Pavlidis, photographer, and Eleftheria Sotiropoulou, visual artist.
demo
The application is currently developed in a demo-level and expected to be appreciated as such. We intend to have it fully developed (interface integration, detailed documentation with sounds – info and more participants) by late March.
