Description

Seeing the Invisible is an augmented reality contemporary art exhibition initiated by the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens in partnership with Outset Contemporary Art Fund, with the support of the Jerusalem Foundation. The first exhibition of its kind to be developed in collaboration with botanical gardens, it will open and be on view simultaneously at twelve different gardens around the world. The participating gardens all present the same exhibition, but as the works are augmented into the unique surroundings and context of each garden, the exhibition is experienced differently against the backdrop of each location, and is constructed, as a whole, on different iterations of the same corpus of works. An open-air exhibition, Seeing the Invisible continues the efforts to present and discuss art in the current pandemic crisis, while also allowing local communities to be exposed to the forefront of international contemporary art. The exhibition can only be viewed upon visiting the participating botanical gardens and through the Seeing the Invisible mobile app developed for this project.
The exhibition features thirteen augmented reality (AR) works by established artists from various countries. Co-curators, Hadas Maor (curator of contemporary art) and Tal Michael Haring (virtual and augmented reality expert and curator) worked with the artists to select existing works as well as commission new ones, and to position these new experiential artworks in unique spots in each of the participating botanical gardens. As institutions holding documented collections of living plants for the purpose of scientific research, conservation, display, and education, botanical gardens are hybrids in their own right, blending nature and cultivation, order and coincidence.
Setting these digital experiences inside botanical gardens, without disturbing the preservations, and keeping the carbon footprint to a minimum, the exhibition addresses themes pertaining to nature, environment, and sustainability and explores the boundaries and connections between art, technology, and nature. Both bleak and hopeful, each artwork offers a unique perspective on these unresolved issues, creating thought-provoking, experiential, and contemplative spaces for the viewers to immerse in.
As viewers are invited to explore the botanical gardens and actively locate the artworks scattered throughout them, they must use technological devices to establish the digital works into existence and, in many cases, experience the way their own physical presence affects the work and changes its course, further exploring the interrelations between the "art object" and the self.
Since the works cannot be experienced online, but require viewers to physically visit the gardens, they offer a "phygital" experience combining the physical location and the digital manifestation. Thus, the exhibition invites viewers to also contemplate contemporary notions relating to site and non-site, physical and digital realms. In 1968 Robert Smithson created a series of works entitled Site/Nonsite. These geologically and geographically based works were part of Smithson’s ongoing radical challenge of the limits of sculptural practice, and paved the way for his most ambitious work, Spiral Jetty (1970). At the time of their creation, the tension between outdoors and indoors, scattered and contained, natural and constructed, was at the forefront of theoretical discourse and artistic practice. Today, as questions relating to the physical and digital realms are at the core of our existence, they become an inevitable part of artistic discussion and are at the heart of this exhibition

Seeing The Invisible Reviews

I don’t get it.

Phillip Grandison on

United States

This stuff is too funny I don’t understand

Bad App

Myvetwork on

United States

Followed the instructions but never could get the first picture deleted so that every other site for invisible art showed the original pic. Clearly flawed!

Too slow , too difficult to use/enjoy

Tried it in Florida at Indian Point …. Takes too much to get the app to recognize its at a viewing spot, then it also takes too long to load, and viewing the phone screen with sunlight around isnt very good either…. Cool idea, but it just was a waste of time and effort

I loved this!

This park was so fun to visit. It was very family friendly. There was defiantly some walking. We saw a butterfly house with a very friendly associate that helped us. The images were very cool. They were awesome and everybody really enjoyed them. The people were all very nice. I hope you visit!

This app actually works pretty well once you get the hang of it, it just takes a couple of tries. You do have to be physically located inside one of the twelve (yes, only 12) botanical gardens that are holding this argumented reality art exhibition. The app does have some glitches, or it could be due to your handheld device’s network speed. I do wish the app allows one to save the photos directly into my iPhone, so that I don’t have to take an extra step to send it to myself each time. I also wish it gives the option of video taping besides taking photos. Betty from Carlsbad CA

Fantastic and fun!

We thoroughly enjoyed looking through our device at an empty space only to see a piece of art appear out of nowhere (seemingly. A nice walk on a pretty day in a pretty place!

Total Crap

Go see the botanical Gardens without wasting effort on this poorly executed idea. It is not worth the effort and the virtual part is a disgrace.
