The “leak in your home town” is an iPhone app that lets users see the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill whenever they see a BP logo. A user simply launches the app and aims their iPhone’s camera at the nearest BP logo. What the user sees is the broken pipe coming out of the BP logo, and out of the pipe comes the oil, pluming upward.
This work mixes computer generated 3d graphics with the iPhone’s video camera. The 3d graphics create the broken pipe which comes out of the BP logo . *** Please know that this is an ongoing work in progress.
