Workshop on Comics & Augmented Reality

After being invited—together with AURORA alumna Christina Sarli and her AR comic Señor Pulpo—to the Insta-Video podcast Kreative Pause of the Berlin comic store Grober Unfug on 06.02.22, there was a nice AURORA workshop on “Comics & Augmented Reality” with 13 participating artists on 10.03.22 – due to corona still via ZOOM.

Topics:
• Creative input and comparison of sample comics and related media
• Input on digital media production
• Technological basics around AR
• AURORA alumna Christina Sarli answers questions about workflow and storytelling in Señor Pulpo
Platform to discuss your own ideas and their technical feasibility with each other and with AR specialists.

Thanks a lot to Christina Sarli and the great artists for their highly motivated participation! 🙂
