Augmented Painting
Paintings Turn Into Interactive Art
Abstract Paintings on Canvas are Transformed into Animated Artworks with the help of Augmented Reality.
How it works
Sonja Kanno utilizes Augmented Reality technologies to bring interactivity and motion to her paintings on canvas. In 2016, the artist developed a mobile app that can be downloaded by the audience on their tablet or smartphone. By pointing their device's camera at the painting, the audience can view an animated layer of the artwork on their screen.
