Digital artist, Marc Marot, is showing a visitor the painting which includes testimony from a WWI veteran.
Digital artist, Marc Marot, who creates the the augmented part of the artworks, says that through AR the artists are “able to introduce really hard hitting poetry”.
“It adds a huge new dimension to art and has an impact that really moves people to tears.”
“The AR brings the viewers an even more intimate and close relationship with the theme,” Scarlett Raven, the artist who painted the canvases, told City News.
“Through sounds and animation and through movement and film you’re able to feel that you’re there on the trenches.”
Bill Gorrie, a Chelsea Pensioner who fought in the Indonesian confrontation and won the campaign medal, visited the exhibition.
He says that the technology’s use of images and sounds “tugs the emotions.”
“It puts something into the mind that you’ll never forget.”
