'Think with Your Hands'
This fall Artisphere and SPAIN arts & culture present the exhibition Think with Your Hands: Illustrated Journals Come to Life through Augmented Reality.

Think with Your Hands brings together the illustrated journals of Spanish illustrators and graphic designers Pep Carrió and Isidro Ferrer in a unique collaboration between artists and software developers. The exhibit takes an unusual twist where animation, video and augmented reality bring to life over sixty illustrations of two of Spain’s most interesting graphic artists working today. This connection between creativity and innovation is central to Artisphere’s focus on artists working at the forefront of new technologies.

The illustrated journals, collages and sculptures of award-winning Carrió and Ferrer were used as a platform to explore the development of two and three dimensional animation through augmented reality. UNIT, a team of programmers and artists at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain developed an app for iPads, iPhones and Android mobile devices that responds to the artwork and brings the two dimensional characters to life. This emerging technology is so new that the developers are just beginning to realize the potential of its applications. Of the 150 illustrations on exhibit, over 60 will be app-responsive, allowing the patron to experience two-dimensional artwork in previously unimaginable ways. The illustrations and collages highlight the artists’ graphic design style, embracing humor, surrealism and sublime moments of life.

Free opening reception on Friday, September 19, from 7 pm to 9 pm, at Terrace Gallery + Upper Town Hall. Curator and artist talk on Saturday, September 20 at 2 pm at Dome Theatre and Terrace Gallery.
