About the event
Presented by Cluster Festival + Polycoro, TOUCHGRASS is a series of public digital art and sound installations set in various outdoor Winnipeg landmarks, accessible through a free augmented reality app. Simply download and open our free app at any of 7 sites and you can experience an immersive experience unlike anything you've seen before in Winnipeg!
Different composers from across Canada have created augmented reality installations at seven outdoor Winnipeg locations: Forks · Upper Fort Garry · St. Boniface Cathedral · Leo Mol Sculpture Gardens at Assiniboine Park · Assiniboine Forest.
These installations are GPS based, so when you open the app, you will see a variety of floating sculptures through your phone screen. As you walk around and interact with the sculptures, each of the visual elements will be linked to a different soundscape. The visual and audio elements change and shift as you move throughout the installation.
