Augmented Bombings offers you the unique possibility to share some extravagant risks.
                                                                                                               HTMlles

Nowadays risks are lurking behind every bush - even in augmented reality. In order to draw some attention to the latters the art service Augmented Bombings places virtual 3D bombs all over the world. There is no problem in doing so. Since everybody may place harmless virtual bombs whereever they like. A totally different thing is to inform affected people about. This is a risky business which regularly scrapes past punishable acts like ‘harassment’ or even ‘feigning commission of a crime’.

So, these risks are now available to be assumed by you!

C h o o s e t h e r i s k m a t c h i n g y o u r p e r s o n a l i t y :

A) For the tough ones: Send a letter insinuating that YOU are responsible for one of three already placed bombs (see below).

B) For the soft ones: Send a letter warning unsuspecting bomb hosts that a controversial art project has positioned a bomb in their premises.

S c a l e y o u r r i s k r e s p e c t i v e l y :

1) Normal risk: Print out from the website one of eight standard letters. Sign the document and send it to the respective person.

2) Small risk: Do the same as described above but without signing the letter.

3) Individual risk: Tell the art service Augmented Bombings where to place a virtual bomb, then follow the guidelines given for normal or small risk.

I want you to place a bomb here:

Easy done? You think? Well, try it out: Will you really throw your letter in the post box or will it end up in the waste paper basket?

The risks were created on the occasion of “The HTMlles 10″ festival in Montreal (10- 18 November 2012), the theme of which is “Risky Business”. There will be a project presentation in the Cafée “Internet Zone” in Montreal on November 14, from 6 pm to 12 am (local time).

All risks are offered to you by the art service Augmented Bombings, a project by Susanne Berkenheger. They can be assumed by people worldwide.

Bomb AwesomePitch (LAT55.6494480_LON12.5419650)

admin — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 10:05:29 +0000

We were asked to place bomb AwesomePitch in the StartupBootcamp, Sydhavengade 12, Copenhagen, Denmark. Due to the fantastic location near the water and the high density of Nokia employee population AwesomePitch couldn’t wait to become positioned. So, we placed a bomb which was highly hysterical but in an incredibly good mood. The bomb host welcomed it by exclaiming the old saying ‘Stop the waste of augmented stuff!’

Objection (LAT52.5404880_LON13.4120400)

admin — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:57:22 +0000

The famous and fabulous currywurst stand Konnopke in Schönhauser Allee in Berlin raised objection against the placement of one of our bombs. In a telephone call the word „lawyers” got mentioned several times. We regret but respect Konnopke’s decision. Now, Konnopke has to find its own way through augmented reality without any help of our bombs. This can get tough. Therefore, we call on you: Do not place augmented reality objects in the surroundings of Konnopke’s currywurst stand. They cannot even hope for a future day when they will be able to bomb them away.

Bomb James (LAT75.3666670_LON-89.6833330)

Perhaps bomb James is the first 3D object living on the uninhabitant Devon Island. But this doesn’t mean that it is boring there. On the contrary: Bomb James gets often visited by strange humans in astronouts’ suits who pretend to be on the Mars. Do they really pretend that? Just a few days after the placement bomb James has started doubting being on earth. And another fact will trouble bomb James. He is hovering above a really big crater. Did he made this? Can he effect the real reality?

Bomb Esther (LAT52.5374560_LON13.3991080)

admin — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:26:00 +0000

Bomb Esther floats around in Rheinsberger Straße 16, Berlin. The little bomb has been ordered late at night at a party. That’s what we call a typical impulse order. Normally our 3D bombs are not the typical products for impulse orders. Given that a 3D bomb is rather difficult to get rid of after having ordered one, people normally exercise a lot of superfluous caution when deciding for or against a 3D bomb. That’s why we want to congratulate the dear bomb host on her courage and forsight. Well done bomb host!

Bomb Todoro (LAT35.6827550_LON139.6545840)

admin — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 10:32:00 +0000

Bomb Todoro lives peacefully as well as thoughtfully in a flat in Tokyo together with a cuddle toy and an artist. There he tries to convince Prof. Dr. B. Cappy, another cuddle toy and director of the Institut of Pataphysian Spaceship and Normatif Equivalenttheory, that the point of Archimedes could not be elsewhere than in the augmented reality of this flat in Tokyo.
