The Caged Bird Sings

This app uses augmented reality to connect with the traditional hand-woven carpet, "The Caged Bird Sings of Freedom," allowing viewers to experience Kalos&Klio's artwork on a deeper level.

To explore ''The Caged Bird Sings of Freedom,'' simply point your phone at the artwork and discover the virtual narratives of the carpet.

"The Caged Bird Sings of Freedom" incorporates 3d animation, and short videos into its iconography via AR, which integrates digital image and sound content into the tangible environment of the artwork, allowing the viewer to experience multiple narratives by transitioning from the analog to the digital world.

In a sense, the nesting between the physical and the virtual creates internal visual stories that unfold an embedded narrative, much like the story within the story, a literary device used in literature, poetry, mythology, film, and even folktales around the world.
