Digital pioneer Sarah Montani has created a wax artwork with accompanying augmented reality (AR) in co-creation with leading Swiss encaustic artist Ursi Lysser.
It is free of charge and can be visualised anywhere: on the water, between the clouds, in fragrant treetops. The artwork can be walked on and taken to any place. This new art form is a phenomenon that cannot be adequately described in words: The fascination comes from experiencing it, trying it out and seeing it with your own eyes. It is one of the first artworks that combines AR with encaustic and is available without an application.
Intelligent contact lenses in the future
In the Metaverse, the work of art can be viewed in a virtual Gallery at Spatial which can be entered with VR glasses, but can also be viewed traditionally on a PC or mobile. The still clunky VR glasses are just the beginning of bringing new realities before our eyes. "In the future, intelligent contact lenses will make such virtual works of art and much more visible - and this will then be our real reality. The reality will then be the one we see with our own smart eyes," says Sarah Montani.
Co-creation between traditional art makers and digital artists holds great energy. Co-creation enables the creation of new, groundbreaking artworks that are connected to the latest technologies. It changes the way artists work and share their art with the world. The newly created artwork is one of the first artworks in Europe to be connected to AR and available without an app.
Further Information
The wax artwork with accompanying augmented reality will premiere in Aarwangen on 21 October 2022 and be on display until 23 October. Afterwards, the work will be on display in Palma de Mallorca from 24 October to 5 November. In the Metaverse, the artwork can be viewed with VR glasses, mobile or on a PC. This will be followed by an exhibition at the MMOMA from 6 November until 4 December.
