Chalk Art with Still and Animated Augmented Reality (Live)

Yesterday, Wendy and I went out to one of our favorite testing places for Art for After Hours concepts using 3D street paintings or chalk art with animated models of our creation to see the effects live.

 

This is an extended video showing a number of locations displaying concepts as they progress…

As always, we would like to hear from those who can imagine an installation with hand drawn (or digital printed) art on pavement walls, both for an immersive experience with traditional art and emerging technologies. Contact us with the form below. Thanks.

4D Chalk Art Installations using 3D modeling, Animation with Augmented Reality

Over the winter, we have been working on interesting ways to blend chalk art (streetpainting), 3d modeling, animation, using augmented reality bringing traditional hand drawn or painted art and emerging technologies to our work.

We find these and expanding possibilities exciting as artists and to share with our clients. These are a few of the items we are working with along these lines.

Talk to us for creating a 4D project with hand drawn or digital art for printing, 3D modeling, still and animated scenes using augmented reality for your live/virtual event.

Creating digital installations using our 3D models and digital art as anamorphic illusions on ground and plane surfaces for a total illusion usable on a 3D curved surface at a convention or tradeshow booth.

Ground art can either be hand drawn or realized as digital art on vinyl substrate printed by your desired printer.

Example of hand drawn chalk over painted base coupled with still (art work in back) and animated bees colored in the colors of Ukraine for a special festival project in 2022.

4D Pavement Art Installation with Augmented Reality at NASDAQ MarketSite (October 2021)

A corporate project for client Valkyrie Funds, Art for After Hours created a live art installation using pavement chalk art and animated augmented reality hand drawn to blend the traditional art form with the emerging technologies of animation and augmented reality.

The Valkyrie wings appear to move as part of the animated AR along with a horn signaling our dramatic scene.

Consider your next project with blending of traditional pavement chalk art and emerging technologies such as animated augmented reality. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

'A Puzzling Reality...' 3D Street Art by Anthony Cappetto at Part of Antwerp Festival in Antwerp, Belgium

I had the pleasure this month to be invited to participate in 'Part of Antwerp', an international art festival as one of a group of top street artists creating 3D street painting at indoor and outdoor locations along the Port of Antwerp.  I was the sole American artist participating at the Festival. This is my 3D street art piece - 'A Puzzling Reality...'.

cappetto_3d_antwerp_17_1.jpg

This piece in its concept uses a motif of fading imagery and approach starting with the puzzle itself.  Viewers noticed a puzzle piece that had fallen out of the vertical panel which is actually the 'real' of the group of sunflowers in a field with dragon flies under a blue sky with clouds.

The puzzle piece at left falls onto the puzzle on the ground area in front of the vertical while I pick up another piece to put into place.

The puzzle itself fades away into reality in a similar way to different drawn aspects of the art themselves fading from completion such as the sunflowers, leaves in higher detail radiating from the seed centers to the grass at the bottom front of the 3D illusion.  The dragon flies, drawn from the standpoint of a graphic complete the connection of the art as a cohesive 3D anamorphic illusion by Cappetto.

3D Street Artist Anthony Cappetto (USA) interviewed by ATV.be as part of artist ensemble at Part of Antwerp Art Festival - September 2017.
