COMPLEX STATES – AUGMENTED REALITY
ARTinTRA has developed in collaboration with afca.ag a cutting-edge Augmented Reality application that allows users to upload multiple artworks and install them in all possible places; a gallery space, a garden, a public space. We developed technology that works without the need for a QR Code or any form of equipment apart from a smartphone or tablet. The app supports two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks as well as video and sound files. Our pilot project is ‘Complex States: Art in the Years of Brexit‘. Download the application for free.

ARTinTRA is proud to present “Last Parade”, a site-specific video installation by Russo-Finnish artist Alexander Reichstein curated by Vassiliki Tzanakou for Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival, 15-26 January 2019, 5-10pm.
Inspired by Plato‘s ‘Allegory of the Cave’, Reichstein creates with a 25m video projection of a wildlife reserve where the shadows of endangered and threatened animals are marching on their last parade.
