Daar ben ik
Commissioned by XXS | NCDO
Here, there and everywhere. Climate change affects all of us, urges the UN’s Mr. Kofi Annan on daarbenik.nl (‘There I Am’). The site served as campaign website for a set of NGO’s, and asks attention to the effects of climate change in developing countries: the way we live ‘here’ is highly influential on how people live ‘there’.
The Refunk-built website uses state-of-the-art augmented reality-tools to illustrate the interconnection of our and their worlds. Black-and-white illustrations in a physical booklet are used as virtual canvas for an AR video on the live of Halima, an Ethiopian girl who encounters violence while searching for water. The suggestion of Halima and her goat walking the pages of your booklet is surprisingly real, while a voice-over instructs you on how her quest for water grows more difficult each season.
