What if there was a type of graffiti that was completely legal, could be added to anything, didn't destroy property, and was itself potentially indestructible? Such a refreshing medium might lead us to rethink our physical environment and even use our handheld devices – so often accused of disconnecting people from their environments – to engage further with the world around us.
Peek is an application for mobile devices which allows you to view virtual performers in physical space using augmented reality, transforming the city of Pittsburgh into an augmented reality playground. Peek forces users to reconsider the idea that familiar spaces are immutable, and encourages them to engage with their surroundings.
