【實用娛樂app】Plastic Histories|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Plastic Histories is a multifaceted project comprising of three main components. This includes the physical shrink-wrapping of two monuments on the University of the Free State (UFS) main campus; the development of an augmented reality application for four monuments in the city of Bloemfontein, South Africa; and an exhibition of digital prints, video and physically shrink-wrapped busts from the UFS permanent art collection, in the Johannes Stegmann Art Gallery.

The statues of President Martinus Theunis Steyn, 6th State President of the Orange Free State (artist Anton van Wouw, 1929), and President Charles Robberts Swart, State President of South Africa (artist Johann Moolman, 1994), are temporary shrink-wrapped in pink plastic. This is accompanied by an augmented reality component, designed in partnership with artist Warren Armstrong, for the statues of General James Barry Munnik Hertzog, 3rd Prime Minister of South Africa (artist Danie de Jager, 1967), President Francis William Reitz, 5th State President of the Orange Free State (artist Laura Rautenbach, 1986), President Johannes Henricus Brand, fourth state president of the Orange Free State (artist J W Best Junior, Amsterdam, 1893) and General Christiaan Rudolf de Wet, Acting State President of the Orange Free State(artist Coert Steynberg, 1954).

This free downloadable application allows the monuments to appear pink when viewed through a smart phone or tablet. In addition the voices of South African poets Kagisho Kolwane (Xhosa), Charmaine Mrwebi (Sotho), Tessa Ndlovu (Afrikaans, English, Sotho) and Gisela Ullyatt (Afrikaans) are heard when viewing the application.

The three components are integrated into a larger social media environment to create a visible space for alternative histories in public. This includes livestreaming of the shrink-wrapped President Steyn statue for the duration of the project, and a selfie #PinkPresidents #Diversity campaign to support women's and queer rights.
