In January of 2020, I decided to focus on mixed reality art. The accumulating evidence was clear. The sort of storytelling I had always wanted to do was becoming technically feasible. While researching software solutions, I came upon Adobe Aero and quickly dove in with both feet. A month later, when asked to be part of the Adobe AR Art Residency<\/a>, I was over the moon. The opportunity to explore this new medium with support of an incredible team of artists and technicians was truly amazing. This is a summary of the work I create during the twelve-week program.<\/p>\n\n\n

Physical space is incredibly important in AR. Context plays a huge role in an artwork’s meaning, as does proximity. Experiences that (seem to)<\/em> happen in your immediate physical space automatically feel personal and emotionally potent. So, I started my residency by exploring ways of using the space around participants, specifically proximity triggers and spatial relationships (through scale and distance.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHERRY BLOSSOM BALLERINAS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

EXPERIENCE: <\/strong>When you get close to a blossom, it detaches from the tree and begins to dance around you in circles, indefinitely. It\u2019s like having your own private sugar plum fairies.

IMMERSIVE MANDALAS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Questions are always a good starting point for art. I found myself wondering what it would be like to be inside of an enormous swirling mandala, so I built one. I began my experiments with simple shapes, colors, and interactive controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


EXPERIENCE:<\/strong> Three buttons allow the participant to control the mandala’s spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
