AR2View 2013
AR2View is an exhibition catalog that brings together a collection of Augmented Reality (AR) artworks from nineteen media artists and two essay articles that review the field and the work inside. Unlike most catalogs, the pages link to media artwork wherever you and the catalog happen to be. It follows the experimental format of Scan2Go, which was distributed in Los Angeles at CAA’s 100th Annual Conference. Both publications include features designed to provide additional information to each page by using the text and image to function as interactive interfaces for mobile media hardware.

AR2View is an exhibition catalog that brings together a collection of Augmented Reality (AR) artworks from nineteen media artists and two essay articles that review the field and the work inside. Unlike most catalogs, the pages link to media artwork wherever you and the catalog happen to be. It follows the experimental format of Scan2Go, which was distributed in Los Angeles at CAA’s 100th Annual Conference. Both publications include features designed to provide additional information to each page by using the text and image to function as interactive interfaces for mobile media hardware.
AR2View pushes the connection between the page interface and artists’ work by using the conference hotel as the context and trigger for experiencing artworks. By using Junaio, which is an image recognition application, photographs in AR2View will trigger a display of an artist’s digital media artwork on the screen as it is displaying the page image seen by the camera lens. The resulting composite view is an overlay of the computer-generated media accessed from an online database and the camera image. Each page in the book represents one artist’s media artwork.
