Re:imagine Street ARt
Entering the next dimension of art
Samsung endorsed Germany’s key event of contemporary art – the Art Berlin. At this annual event, artists and art enthusiasts from all over the world come together to enjoy the latest in contemporary art. To make an impact as a brand among exhibits from top-international talent, Samsung decided to leverage one of the most immersive mediums: Street Art. Street Art by its very nature interferes with the environment and engages with the audience in public places.
In close collaboration with five international artists the project Re:imagine Street Art amplified those principles through unique technology and extended the conceptual ideas of select artworks by adding an explorative Augmented Reality layer. Rooted in the brand promise “Do What You Can’t”, spectacular installations, living murals and playful discoveries around monuments turned Berlin into an open gallery and changed the audience’s role from mere consumer to active participant.
App Walk-Through
We made art accessible to more
people by taking it out from its usual environment. Visitors of our pop-up galleries, murals and monuments were invited to break free from their passive role and actively participate in our artworks instead. To do this, we developed an AR-app, which was the entrance to an immersive world.
It allowed visitors to completely dive
into and fully exploit the potential of
the fusion of art and technology.
The AR-Experiences revisited
To build this world, we brought together international artists with 3D-artists and turned the city
into an interactive playground. We extended their artworks through AR and brought static art to life.
Gallery, mural or monument
Each artist designed his own gallery, mural or monument, which we extended through AR.
Our app acted as the bridge between the analogue and digital world and let visitors explore art on a completely new level.
Visitors could download the app or use pre-installed Samsung devices in the galleries. Integrated Samsung products worked as canvases. Through the app visitors could interact with the artworks and decide by themselves how they perceive them.
