What is augmented reality? And how can it change the way we see and move through the world? In this workshop, we will take a quick look at the past, present and future of augmented reality as a digital media and think about how it can be incorporated into performative video projects, with the use of masks, virtual make-up, digital sceneries and expanding human gestures with animations. Then, we will learn the basics of Spark AR Studio (the software used to create AR effects on Instagram and Facebook) and create a mask and a background. **Please have SparkAR Studio installed on your computer before the workshop: https://sparkar.facebook.com/ar-studio/download/
