Menno’s Journey

Client Zuiderwaterlinie Alliantie | Design- & production Studio APVIS

COME ALONG ON ‘MENNO’S JOURNEY’! Specifically for the Zuiderwaterlinie, Studio APVIS has created a contemporary artwork inspired by the concepts of Menno van Coehoorn. This artwork is an evolving augmented reality experience. View the artwork using your smart device and uncover the animated narrative behind the formation of the Zuiderwaterlinie.

During ‘Menno’s Journey,’ we traced the steps of fortress architect Menno van Coehoorn, with workshops occurring from Grave to Bergen op Zoom where the past, present, and future intersected. These workshops linked contemporary issues like the climate crisis, water management, and heritage to the Zuiderwaterlinie. Studio APVIS captured audio during these sessions and integrated these ‘audio snippets’ into the growing augmented reality artwork.

The artwork transitioned from one location to another, expanding with fresh animated content after each stop, inspired by the engaging workshops discussing the history, present, and future of the region.
