The invention of photography led painting to the path of Impressionism, Fauvism, etc., emphasizing the uniqueness and purity of painting itself.
Since art stepped into the information age, it has been continuously combined with new technologies to produce works of art such as ai (artificial intelligence), vr (virtual reality), ar (augmented reality) and other works of art, and then form a multi-dimensional, interactive, immersive, and virtual new media art language. Artists need to keep up with the pace of science and technology, and express the development and progress of society with art forms that conform to the development of the times.
AR is used in art exhibition interactions
Among them, augmented reality is abbreviated as ar, also known as mixed reality. It uses computer technology to simulate and simulate virtual information, apply it to the real world, and supplement the real environment and virtual objects in the same picture, so as to realize the state of virtual and real existence at the same time. Based on this, the artist boldly uses his imagination and creates infinite possibilities beyond the canvas.

Kaws was intrigued by its potential, "All along, my work has been displayed in physical space, and this allows me to break through.
