This page includes most of the first year of my practice as an augmented reality artist.
Venice Biennial 2011 AR Intervention
I was the main mastermind of the Manifest.AR uninvited AR intervention at the 2011 Venice Biennial. We placed AR artworks in the closed curatorial space of the Giardini, and also as public artworks in Piazza San Marco. I showed a new work on censored artists, "Shades of Absence," as my artistic contribution to the intervention.

In conjunction with the guerrilla intervention at the 54th Venice Biennial, the Samek Art Gallery did NOT show our works as the gallery was NOT open during the summer. The works however were piled up in front of the gallery door waiting for it to open in the fall. For details see the press release.
