REDEFINING PUBLIC ART AND ACCESS THROUGH TECH
LIBERTY BELL: A GEOLOCATED AR ART PIECE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC
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.
