Perception of Reality - Augmented Reality exhibition

Perception of Reality
An Immersive (Augmented Reality) Digital Media Collage Exhibition

For almost three years I have been chasing this dream of creating an immersive art exhibition. The mixture of technology with art always inspired me and I wanted to create a bridge between these two realms.
The main goal of Perception of Reality exhibition is exactly that, to blend technology + art.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to showcase my Augmented Reality (AR) exhibition at the Museum Gallery of Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg, West Virginia.
This show was on display for more than 3 months, with exhibition dates extending twice!

Below is a 3 minute video highlight of the exhibition. Showcasing both the printed artworks and also the AR models within the Adobe Aero application.

About the art

There were 19 digital media collages on display at this solo exhibition. All collages were created in Adobe Photoshop using the photographs I have taken. Photoshop software allowed me to manipulate these images in order to bring the vision in my mind into reality.

The raw images were taken from natural elements and also city scapes. It was also a great opportunity to be able to use NASA's raw images as well as New York City's open source images for some collages.

The artworks were mainly printed on metal as well as printed on large scale and framed.

Below are a few of my favorite artworks from the exhibition.

"Galactic Formation" - Photography and Digital Media Collage

"Portal of the Woodlands" - Photography and Digital Medial Collage

"Bricks and Buildings Vs. Mounted Mountains" - Photography and Digital Media Collage

"Twisted Geometry" - Photography and Digital Media Collage

"Never Enough" - Photography and Digital Media Collage

About the technology

The AR technology was possible thanks to the Adobe Aero software. The images were designed in Adobe Photoshop and then imported in Aero to create the immersive AR experience. What I loved about this software was that how user friendly it is. Every person who joined the exhibition could easily scan the QR code of each artwork and experience the unique AR models I have designed for each of my artworks.
