[PART]

The traditional experience of painting is based on a passive relationship between audience and artwork. The viewer positions herself in front of the artwork and expects to be brought into a phase of contemplation.

[PART] is an augmented reality installation that generates an active and participatory experience of painting as an art form. The interplay of movement and resistance, interaction and immersion invites the viewer to participatory engagement with the medium of painting.

The artwork for the project was created by painter Dennis Henning. Through the medium of augmented reality, the painting expands into the virtual space generates a symbiosis between the analogue and digital artwork which leads to new horizons of aesthetic experiences.

Painting by Dennis Henning. Sound by Samuele Nestola. Project was realized in Unity and Blender.
