Abstract
We describe a mobile app that allows to enjoy a city experience through the artistic perspective of an artist. For the Gunter Grass Gallery in Gdańsk we designed and developed a user experience that presents work of Grass directly at the original locations. In his “Danzig Trilogy” the Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass described places of his hometown Danzig (now Gdańsk), how they used to be in the beginning of the 20th century. With the G:RASS-app the city gets surrounded by art pieces (text passages, drawings, sketches, audio). Using mixed reality, visitors can explore Gdańsk from the artist’s point of view.
