AffeXity is an interdisciplinary pilot choreographic project examining affect, dance on screen and cities. AffeXity, a play on both ‘affect city’ and ‘a-fixity’, is an collaborative social choreography project drawing together dance, visual imagery, AR (Augmented Reality) and mobile-networked devices. It uses a free open standards AR web browser called Argon running on iOS or Android smart mobile devices - the iPhone and/or iPad, for the viewing of choreographies embedded in the city of Malmö, Sweden. Short screendance narratives shot in the city area are then edited, capturing and amplifying, then uploaded onto Argon and the AffeXity Channel. The videos are geospatially tagged onto certain locations using GPS co-ordinates, which the viewers access using their smart mobile devices. The project now forms part of the Living Archives Research Project at Malmö University.
