 Partnering with fine artist Nancy Baker Cahill, we engineered the 4th Wall app, a robust and evolving global art platform for AR artworks, exhibitions, and monuments. Fueled by a belief in resistance and inclusivity, we designed tools for Cahill and her collaborators to react in real time to current events, geolocating topical artworks anywhere in the world, outside of traditional venues.

Through a visual and sonic AR experience, Baker Cahill gives viewers the opportunity to reflect upon their personal experiences of liberty, freedom, injustice and inequality.

The breakdown of the image’s brushstrokes and the sounds of the bell are symbolic of our moment in history: they represent how the loosely knitted threads of our union are unraveling and then come together again.
