Will augmented reality augment art?
The invention of the Screencatcher series in 2014 by the French artist Justine Emard provided a reasonable picture of the way in which artists, even those from non- technology oriented spheres, took advantage of it to create. A brief summary of the Screencatcher project: to begin with a drawing and exploration project on the theme of abandoned American drive-in theatres, Screencatcher was “augmented” by the use of AR.
Indeed, after downloading the Screencatcher application for Apple or Android, spectators discovered animations on the artist’s felt-pen drawings, vibrant waterfalls, moving skies or images of films projected on screens that were empty to begin with. A device that relates the explosion of screens (from drive-ins to the multi-screen dimension that is now part of our everyday lives), Screencatcher is also a wonderful reflection on technologies and the increasingly simulated dimension of reality, proposed by a visual artist with a more conventional path.
