Consenting Cities

Consenting Cities

"Consenting Cities" uses interactive augmented reality to unveil gender-specific safety data, with geometric shapes and icons on the Palazzo Mora passageway wall serving as triggers. While these visuals are aesthetically pleasing, similar to the allure of city tourism, they hide the deeper issue of spatial gender inequality. When users scan these symbols with their smartphones, stark statistics about city environments and gender safety emerge. For instance, a bisected square icon reveals that over 50% of Australian women feel unsafe after dark. Different shapes signify different urban spaces, such as squares for public spaces or circles for public transport. Together, these icons highlight persistent patterns of urban experiences affecting women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals.


As an intern, I participated in the redesign and layout of this project, created exhibition materials, organized client information, produced and shot promotional videos, designed EDMs (Electronic Direct Mail), and undertook some other tasks to adapt to the new exhibition.

I reconfigured the original wallpaper into seven panels that could adapt to the new exhibition. It was like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, and it was genuinely fun

Through the experence of this project,I learned about the power of technology and art in raising awareness about crucial societal issues. The project illuminated how augmented reality can be used as an effective tool to engage audiences and present data in an impactful manner. Moreover, it deepened my understanding of spatial gender inequality in urban settings and highlighted the importance of making these invisible challenges visible to promote change.

Through utilizing augmented reality (AR) in projects, I've grasped its profound capability to offer immersive and interactive storytelling. I've also recognized its vast potential for real-world applications and the unique design challenges it presents, as well as the ethical considerations in melding digital elements with our tangible surroundings.

The exhibition was shown in Melbourne and Venice.

After completing the internship, I not only honed my design and communication skills but also gained a deeper understanding of the potential of augmented reality in highlighting societal issues. This multifaceted experience enriched my knowledge in blending technology, design, and advocacy, and underscored the significance of meaningful content in today's digital age.
