  "Augmented Reality: Through the Mobile Looking Glass"
  
  -> Re: "We AR in MoMA"
  "Among the highlights of the virtual show is Tamiko Thiel’s Art Critic Face Matrix, a floating array of white faces with open mouths, which is opportunely juxtaposed with live screaming interpretations of Yoko Ono’s 1961 Voice piece for soprano in the mezzanine."
  
  -> Re: "Bushwick AR Intervention"
  " ... it’s the playful floating works inspired by the simple pleasure of visual juxtaposition, such as Tamiko Thiel’s ad hoc Eddie Murphy and Mae West - Return to Bushwick (itself an homage to Magritte’s Golconda) ... that remind us of the magic. When the ghosts are all around us, AR lets us see them, confirming their presence and validating their existence."
