Explore the connection between technology & art while experiencing art in a new way. See animated artwork from the library?s collection projected larger-than-life size for an interactive experience.
Artists are finding ways to imagine the digital world as an artistic space. Virtual reality headsets immerse you in experiences happening in all directions, including painting programs that encourage you to create life-size art. Augmented reality (AR) uses existing technology such as cell phones to layer visual information onto real-life places.
To create this exhibit the gallery used photographs of images of art in the library’s collection and made them into short, animated clips. Each animation is a creative re-imagining of original works. Artists and artists’ estates approved use of imagery for the exhibit knowing the animation altered photographs of the original artworks. Animations were made by library staff and contracted graphic designers.
