Art With Layers
Appy exhibitioning
Art's got appy. A collection of paintings commemorating the First World War launched on Wednesday, but there's considerably more to see than the oil pieces first reveal. Download ever so clever app Blippar, then scan images from the exhibition to unlock an augmented reality. AR, as them techy types are calling it, enhances (or augments) what you see by overlaying digital content onto the real world. So here you'll get a look at the creative journey of each painting via your phone, stripping away the many, many layers of paint and revealing the deeply personal process beneath every piece with poetry, animation and music. The Danger Tree by Scarlett Raven and Marc Marot is at Castle Fine Art's ICC outpost, running until Nov 30.
