Obvia Gaude

Wedding wish? Say it a geeky way! Here is an app, where you can add the names of the newlyweds, twist and turn the visual poem and listen to a digitalized Baroque music.

Obvia Gaude is an application repurposing a Slovak Baroque literary text – a wedding wish. By the pattern poem “Decagrammaton”, Slovak poet Matej Gažúr wished his friends Pavol Ostrošič and Eva Ujfalusi a blissful marriage already in 1649. Text Obvia Gaude moves from an archive to a post-digital world, while the idea of a visual wedding wish bridges 364 years.
