ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The Orlando Science Center is currently hosting \u201cMemories of Water,\u201d an art exhibit that utilizes Augmented Reality (AR) to explore water\u2019s role in memory, landscape, community, and perception.<\/p>\n
The exhibit, on display until Aug. 23, features artwork by artists with disabilities from across Florida.<\/p>\n
\u201cMemories of Water\u201d is presented by Arts4All Florida, a not-for-profit organization supporting arts education and cultural experiences for and by people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
Guests use their smartphones to scan QR codes, activating an AR component within each piece that brings the artwork to life.<\/p>\n
The artists collaborated with tech curator and artist Austin Lubetkin to create unique AR experiences for their artwork. These experiences include movement, animation, sound, and song.<\/p>\n
An artist statement accompanies each piece, describing personal inspiration. Guests can develop a stronger connection with the artists and a deeper understanding of their challenges and place in the water-filled world by reading these statements and viewing the art with and without AR.<\/p>\n
