AR u ready?



Meg Bielby, Buy my art before I die, 2020

Buy my art before I die is a juxtaposition of two-dimensional illustration and three-dimensional animation. It’s a response to internet culture and the desire to constantly challenge the barriers of traditional art and design. The experimental nature of this AR project aims to create something visually fresh and unconventional. Handmade meets computer made. The illustration draws on the distinct aesthetic of medieval art (specif cally tapestries) and their limitations in themes, colours, textures and style. To juxtapose this, the viewer will see the AR transition into a contemporary world of experimental movement, shape and colour. The result both contrasts and compliments, exemplifying how AR can manipulate and merge conventional into unconventional.
