Achieving pervasive awareness through artwork

ABSTRACT

Aesthetics and ludic aspects of pervasive awareness applications make the awareness system more attractive and aesthetically pleasing to its users. The same objective can be achieved by adding pervasive awareness features to an aesthetic object such as an artwork. In this article we describe how an artwork can be transformed to an pervasive awareness application by adding awareness features into the artwork.
