Okay, gotta admit, we are having a lot of fun with this. After writing in March about KAWS's foray into the AR space with the Acute Art app that allows users to place an artist's work into their home and social media feeds, well, it was KAWS, and naturally it’s been a hit. Today another mega artist from contemporary has joined the Acute Art space, with Danish-Icelandic star Olafur Eliasson creating multiple pieces for the AR experience in a series he calls Wunderkammer.
As we noted on Olafur's Instagram post today, "You’re invited to create your own cabinet of curiosities in augmented reality by bringing objects, outdoor phenomena, and smaller spatial experiments by Olafur to your home or environment - a sun, a puffin, a ladybird, or flowers, a compass or a rainy cloud. It’s a meeting up of personal space and art... 'Today, where physical distancing guides our lives, it’s as crucial as ever that we surround ourselves with things and atmospheres that really matter to us. All elements of the WUNDERKAMMER play a role in my life'."
