An augmented reality art exhibition in the MOMA, but MOMA have no idea it is going to happen. This weekend, if you go to the MOMA in New York with you iPhone or Android phone you can enjoy an exhibition that only you can see whilst you peruse the existing art work. Here is what Wired had to say:
The show will not be visible to regular visitors of the MoMA, but those using a smartphone application called “Layar Augmented Reality browser” will be able to see additional works on each of the floors, put there using a location-based augmented reality technique.So far, the MoMA is not involved in all this yet. But that’s not a requirement anymore anno 2010… What is the impact of AR on our public and private spaces? Is the distinction between the two fading, or are we approaching the contrary situation with an ever increasing fragmentation of realities all to be perceived individually?
