Augmented reality art enables us to imagine new visions of nature: under the theme of Hybrid Nature, the second edition of the AR Biennale shows ten international artists and collectives in DĂĽsseldorf’s Ehrenhof and Hofgarten.
The AR works render the interfaces between physical and digital worlds visible. They challenge our understanding of what nature and culture are, how they relate to each other and whether it is even possible to separate them. The artistic works present a different, hybrid future in which these dividing lines become blurred, allowing for humorous, critical and speculative experiences of an expanded nature.
Like Alice in Wonderland, visitors can embark on a fantastic walk; with incredible experiences of nature and hybrid plant and animal forms. As humans and nature converge, a variety of new landscapes emerge, inviting co-creation, discussion and exploration.
Augmented reality (AR) is one of the most exciting current forms of representation for contemporary artists. Following the world’s first AR Biennale, the NRW-Forum DĂĽsseldorf is once again offering this young art form a prominent platform. Digital sculptures by ten international artists can be seen throughout the Ehrenhof and Hofgarten.
You can explore the Ehrenhof and Hofgarten with your own smartphone or tablet and interact with the works in real time.
