About the artist

Echoes of Emptiness is an augmented reality experience for the Heriscope project by Communitism

Echoes of Emptiness is a community-driven project initiated by Karl Heinz Jeron (https://jeron.org/echoes)

Communitism, an open community of creative professionals in Athens, seeks to reimagine the potential of abandoned cultural heritage buildings in the Metaxourgeio neighborhood.

Echoes of Emptiness transforms abandoned spaces into interactive, hybrid environments using augmented reality (AR) sculptures. By placing posters with QR codes at selected sites, visitors can unlock and interact with digital objects, reimagining these forgotten spaces as dynamic centers for community engagement and speculative futures. This web-based AR experience fosters creative exploration, dialogue, and social transformation, turning neglected urban areas into platforms for collective imagination and cultural revitalization.
