Seeing the Invisible

• Installation
Israel • SA Premiere

Developed by the Jerusalem Botanic Gardens, this is the world’s most ambitious augmented reality installation. Immersive 3D digital sculptures created by thirteen renowned international artists are discoverable by downloading a free app on a smart device. Each work is geo-located in the stunning environs of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. While the 3D digital sculptures are breathtaking in their own right, many accompanied by original musical scores, they also playfully and provocatively address themes of the environment and sustainability. Highly interactive, each artwork reacts tothe viewer's presence. We push through the turnstiles in Ai Weiwei’s glittering 'Gilded Cage' and discover an alternate universe at the end of a stone cavern in Timur Si Qin’s 'Biome Gateway'
