Seeing the Invisible: An Augmented Reality Contemporary Art Exhibition

Seeing the Invisible is an innovative augmented reality contemporary art exhibition that has been developed in collaboration with twelve botanical gardens around the world. The exhibition features thirteen augmented reality works by established artists from various countries. Co-curators Hadas Maor and Tal Michael Haring worked with the artists to select existing works as well as commission new ones, and to position these new experiential artworks in unique spots in each of the participating botanical gardens.

The exhibition addresses themes pertaining to nature, environment, and sustainability and explores the boundaries and connections between art, technology, and nature. The artworks offer a unique perspective on these unresolved issues, creating thought-provoking, experiential, and contemplative spaces for the viewers to immerse in. As viewers explore the botanical gardens and locate the artworks scattered throughout them, they must use technological devices to establish the digital works into existence and experience the way their own physical presence affects the work and changes its course, further exploring the interrelations between the "art object" and the self.
