Screen recording of Bronzong viewed through Pokémon Go's AR mode in room 93, British Museum, 2023

Curator's comments:

The screen recording was completed as part of research into how the mobile gaming app Pokémon Go augments the experience of lived environments through mobile technology. The performative short film depicts Bronzong viewed through Pokémon Go's AR mode, overlaid onto a live video feed from room 93 of the British Museum. The AR experience is situated in front of objects from the British Museum's Japanese collection, specifically a cabinet containing dōtaku (bronze bells) from the Yayoi Period (200-250 BCE). The aesthetic of the Pokémon Bronzong may be derived from similar dōtaku.

Welcome to the Courtyard of the Museum of Computational Image Artefacts (MoCIA). This space hosts a special exhibition focusing on the mobile game Pokémon Go, particularly its Augmented Reality function as utilised in the context of the museum. The exhibition showcases practice-based research exploring the influence of viewing the museum through a lens other than that dictated by the institution. It questions whether museums, as knowledge producers, are subsumed by the engagement with computational interfaces through the computational image functionality of mobile technology

3D scan of Pokémon Raid group, Kings Cross

Curator's comments:

The scan was completed as part of research into how the mobile gaming app Pokémon Go augments the experience of lived environments through mobile technology. The scan depicts groups of players performing raids during meetings of the central London raid group in and around King's Cross station. Niantic describes Raid Battles as occurring "when a Boss Pokémon takes over a Gym." The goal for players is to group together "to defeat this powerful Pokémon." The consequence of this action is that "you’ll be rewarded with special items and a chance at catching that Pokémon." The scan was created using the mobile app Scaniverse. To maintain anonymity, the heads of the players have been deliberately removed.

Screen recording of Nosepass viewed through Pokémon Go's AR mode in room 24, British Museum, 2024

Curator's comments:

The screen recording was completed as part of research into how the mobile gaming app Pokémon Go augments the experience of lived environments through mobile technology. The performative short film depicts Nosepass viewed through Pokémon Go's AR mode, overlaid onto a live video feed from room 24 of the British Museum. The AR experience is situated in front of the Moai Hoa Hakananai'a (c. 1100-1600 CE) originating from Rapa Nui. 

The British Museum states that it recognises the significance of Hoa Hakananai'a  for the Rapanui community today and acknowledges the impact of their removal from the island in 1868. However, it further states that its "presence in London influences public understanding of the history of Rapa Nui, its people's artistic achievements past, present, and future, and the challenges faced by the community today." 

The Pokémon Nosepass is based on the Moai statues of Easter Island, as well as a compass. These references may be based on the expression to "follow one's nose."

Screen recording of Blaziken  viewed through Pokémon Go's AR mode in room 33, British Museum, 2024

Curator's comments:

The screen-recording was completed as part of research into how the mobile gaming app Pokémon Go augments the experience of lived environments through mobile technology. The performative short film depicts Blaziken viewed through Pokémon Go's AR mode, overlaid onto a live video feed from room 33 of the British Museum. The AR experience is situated in front of 7th or 8th century Chinese 'Painted pottery or tomb Guardian' which stand in display cases.

Blaziken resembles a cockfighting chicken, specifically the Japanese Shamo breed, though its feathery legs are similar to those of a Cochin chicken. Blaziken is anthropomorphized like Horus and Ra, ancient Egyptian deities with falcon heads, and may be inspired by the basan, a fire-breathing chicken from Japanese folklore, or the karura.

With new types of 3D imaging processing, such as Gaussian Splatting combined with AI image recognition, minimal input data is required to create detailed images of PokéStops and their environs from this input data.

Photogrammetric 3D scan of a youth on horseback

Curator's comments:

The 3D scan was completed as part of research into how the mobile gaming app Pokémon Go augments the experience of lived environments through mobile technology. The scan was created using Niantic's mobile app Scaniverse and features the Statue of a Youth on Horseback. This sculpture in the British Museum is a PokéStop in Pokémon Go. PokéStops appear in the Map View of the game and represent real-world landmarks such as historical markers, monuments, art installations, churches, and other types of location. They are created through user interaction via what Niantic call Wayfaring, with many significant sites added soon after the game's launch in 2016. Much of Pokémon Go's functionality is derived from  Ingress, another augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic. The data collected by users to map spaces in Ingress was used to enhance the world created in Pokémon Go.
