In the autumn term of 2022 we were delighted to work with Canterbury Christ Church University Digital Media students as part of their professional practice module. Acting as the client and working with Canterbury Christ Church lecturer Celia Rumley and Head of Department Joanna Samuel, Canterbury Festival set a brief for students to create an exhibition of Augmented Reality artworks that could be exhibited publicly during the 2023 Festival, with multiple works creating an art trail. Each student produced three artworks and a number of other deliverables including a social media image, art trail leaflet and branded poster.

The work submitted was of a very high level, with students excelling our expectations. Below you can view and engage with a selection of the submitted artworks. Just view the QR code on each poster with your phone camera, click the link and trigger the AR app.
