Bringing murals to life with AR
Now, with Data Chromesthesia, Pantone brings his art to augmented reality for users to experience wherever they are.
Working with augmented reality technologies, Felipe Pantone has made his artwork accessible worldwide, also ensuring that the experience is unique each time people engage with it. But how does it work?
Data Chromesthesia uses Google’s latest Geospatial features powered by ARCore technology. This brings Pantone’s artwork to life, turning your urban surroundings into a dynamic and ever-evolving audio-visual tapestry, encouraging you to look at the city in a new way.
The dynamic visuals respond to local pollution levels (enabled by Google Air Quality API) - going from black & white (representing poor air quality), to saturated colors (representing excellent air quality) to raise awareness about the breatheability of air in our cities.
In Paris, visitors are able to experience a custom artwork on the facades of the Grand Palais Immersif.
In the artist's own words...
"This interactive artwork seamlessly blends my signature style into the urban landscape through an AR application. The fusion of art and technology in this dynamic piece invites viewers to actively engage with and influence its transformation."
