| The Concert Narratives project explores an integrated media ecosystem which allows people to document their experiences at concerts, encode it onto a barcode which they can customize with their own or pre-made visuals, and post it on a “narrative wall” to share with other people who attend concerts at that particular | venue. In order to view these narratives, the user would have to activate an augmented reality app on their iPhone and “reveal” the narratives. The narrative wall itself, as time goes on, would become a historical record of the concerts that have taken place at that particular venue through the perspectives of its patrons. |

The “Narrative Wall” Of Encoded Experiences
| As more and more people put up their encoded experiences in the form of printed and decorated semacode onto a wall, the end result is, quite literally, a wall of narrative. Specifically, the narratives of people and a documentation of the concerts played at that specific venue seen through its patrons. | Thus, the phone acts as a device to reveal these narratives and in turn, creates for the user, a unique and innovative way of experiencing other people’s memories juxtaposed in the location they happened. The augmented reality phone app allows the user to navigate through the experiences of other people. |

THE KIOSK EXPERIENCE
The Kiosk Screenshots
| The primary experience of the kiosk is to provide the user with the ability to choose and upload the pictures or movies they want to share, the toolset to customize and decorate the print out upon which the semacode containing a link to their content is on, and print out that semacode. This process is all contained within the kiosk itself. | Users are charged a small fee to create these print outs. The money goes to the maintenance of the kiosk as well as a charity previously chosen by the musician performing that night. There is a limit of how much content can be encoded per semacode. Users can either encode 6 images or one movie. |
