With Algo:ritmi Karin Gavassa (@karinaddicted), Edoardo Salviato (@id_jayy) and their team created a fully virtual environment for artists to experiment freely with art, music, science and coding. For their newest project they want to dig deeper into AR effects exploring the beauty and boundaries of AR filters as a new form of art and consuming art. “Thanks to this new technology, users can visually manipulate the reality they live in by accessing a wide range of filters, from 3d objects to be "placed" in front of you, to glitch and distortions of reality.” In order to show as much diversity as possible and letting artists participate in their digital exhibition, they started an open call. A jury of digital artists will select and create the first AR effects virtual museum collection out of all participants in the format of an 24/7 open museum on Algo:ritmi Instagram profile. The first effect can already be seen: "Cactus Sphere" by Cyril Lancelin. – A cactus consisting of soap bubbles like balls that can be resized and pulled into the camera, turning any room into a futuristic desert.
The format of a virtual museum is suitable for the new way of enjoying art in interaction with AR filters, but also a smart way to reunite artists and consumers in times of the global pandemic.
The Effects to be submitted for this open call are meant to function in the space, placing objects that can be moved and resized while pointing your camera.
Creators, designers, artists, developers are invited to create an effect playing with the features of Algo:Ritmi languages such as coding, 3D modeling & Animation, VR Art Engagement. More information can be find under @Algo:Ritmi
