Be exactly where the artists intended you to be when you experience their work.
Leav was conceptualized to rekindle the idea that art can interact with its surroundings in dynamic, powerful ways. Thus, Leav allowed artists to "install" artwork throughout the city, accessible only through the app and only in that particular location (and/or at a particular time, temperature, and more). In addition to it being available only in a specified location, by utilizing such factors as temperature, weather, and/or movement, users access and interact with the art in a nuanced and dynamic way - right where it was intended.
What does this mean? One example is it allowed artists to make music available only at certain lakefront beach at a certain time at a certain temperature range. Or, they could install a spoken word piece or poem right on the corner of a busy intersection. In this way, the surroundings mattered again, and we gave artists a way to "install" their artwork digitally.
Though surroundings are all but lost in the shuffle of the "I can get anything anywhere, anytime" of our modern lives, there is something beautiful about knowing you're exactly where the creator intended you to be when experiencing their work.
Leav is no longer available, but we had a blast while it was.
