Snapchat

As a means of extending the conversation of agency explored within my solo exhibition ‘To Be Real,’ I collaborated with Snap Inc. I created custom augmented reality Lenses through Lens Studio, Snap’s AR creation tool. Visitors of the show were invited to use the Snapchat app to reveal hidden digital layers of several static works, bringing the exhibition to life. Visitors could either scan the Snapcode placed next to the artwork or “press and hold” on the Camera screen to reveal the Lens. The works confronted the viewer head-on, looking back at them, engaging in their own oppositional gaze. They spoke to the viewer and recited quotes from bell hooks on the importance of having and using your voice as a form of resistance.

Below are links to the snapcodes.
