2024-25 Projects Combining Live Chalk Art, Painted or Digital Murals with Extended Reality (XR), 3D Modeling and Animation
In 2024, Art for After Hours continued creating project ideas using hand drawn and/or painted murals with different forms of extended reality, 3D modeling, and animation for our work with clients. Our post shows this direction and to watch this year for our new work in mixed reality, metaverse spaces, simulating chalk art festivals, and worlds for launches, festivals, pop-ups, and public art.
Close up of our chalk illusions created in Blender 3D as part of our metaverse driven interests with traditional street painting or chalk art. this imagery is from a signature work ‘Visions of Cambodia’ originally 30 feet wide by 40 feet long.
The original art - the portion shown in our 3D modeling detail is at the upper left.
Currently, we are presenting our work with metaverse driven spaces based on chalk art festivals as a component to live public projects either as:
A teaser item to promote the festivals to wider, tech savvy audiences meant to get their attention; engaging them to come visit and/or participate in live festivals.
A component during festivals highlighting a key event or portion of the festival for avatar interactivity to reach wider audiences who cannot physically attend.
A legacy item that can be maintained for subsequent years setting stage for future event promotion.
All metaverse sites accessible through phones and tablets.
