Visually impaired artist uses AR to explore Malaysia's multi-layered story. 🌟

👁️‍🗨️ Have you ever looked at a painting and wished you could step into it and explore to your heart’s content?

🎨 Thanks to technology, now you can.

🌟 Contemporary artist Wong Chee Meng’s latest exhibition, Rasa Sayang, seamlessly incorporates an augmented reality (AR) component into each piece, making the viewing experience more engaging and experiential.

✨ When you scan the QR code next to a painting, it will load an AR version of it on your mobile phone, bringing it to life by revealing its many layers and animations.

🔍 For example, for Wong’s piece A New Day, it was composed to look like the doors of the LRT. In the AR version, the doors will open and close. In the colourful whirl of Together Towards Growth, the pinwheels start to spin and the branches will move.

🔮 Through working on this project, I found that the uniqueness of Malaysia is the vibrancy, the energy, the story that we create and share with each other,” says Wong about his 'Rasa Sayang' exhibition series.

💡 This fascinating fusion of art and technology not only enhances the visual experience but also opens up new possibilities for artists and viewers alike. It allows us to immerse ourselves in the artwork and truly engage with its depth and meaning.

🌐 This innovative use of AR technology in the art world. It showcases how technology can enhance our understanding and appreciation of art, and how artists can push boundaries and invent new ways of expressing their creativity.

✍️ It not only demonstrates the potential of AR in the art world but also sparks conversations about the impact of technology on our perception and connection to cultural heritage.

🎨Experience the magic of Wong Chee Meng's Rasa Sayang exhibition and witness how augmented reality breathes life into each artwork.
