WE AR
FLOWAR
flowAR is a research project funded by EFRE/JFT NRW and stands for “The blossoming of collective creativity in physically and digitally active communities through the creation of immersive AR objects.”

WE ARE
DIVERSITY
flowAR thrives on the diversity of its partners and communities. Science, cutting-edge AR technology, and creative practice work hand in hand—together with people on site and online. Different perspectives, experiences, and ideas come together to create a colorful, inclusive community. The result is an AR art world that invites everyone to get involved and create something new in nature together.
WE ARE
DESIGNERS
flowAR makes creativity accessible to everyone. With our AR tool, visitors to IGA2027 and people online can contribute their own ideas and become part of a collaborative installation. Everyone not only helps shape the exhibition, but also redesigns their own environment, creatively, playfully, and in connection with others..
WE ARE
RESEARCHERS
flowAR is more than art, it is also a research project. We are investigating how people participate creatively, what motivates them, and how digital tools can support collaborative processes. Our goal is to gain insights that will not only benefit IGA2027, but also enrich future forms of participation, culture, and sustainability.
