Found Future #2: ARchipelago – A site-specific archival platform for public space

ARchipelago is an archival cross-media project of the Goethe-Institut Bosnia and Herzegovina developed by Armina Pilav and Clarissa Thieme in collaboration with Kaya Behkalam and Farhan Khalid (The Augmented Archive). The unique platform combines archival documents from the wars and post-war periods of the former Yugoslavia, transforming them into an engaging augmented reality (AR) experience. As a result of an intensive research phase in 2023, the ARchipelago app and online archive were launched in the cities of Sarajevo, Prizren, Mostar, and Belgrade from April to September 2024.
