Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the most exciting presentation formats for contemporary art today. With the world’s first AR Biennale the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf is offering a prominent platform to this young art form. Digital sculptures by 20 international artitst will be shown throughout Ehrenhof and Hofgarten.

Additional works will be shown at satellite projects in Cologne and Essen, made possible by Tourismus NRW and its partners in the projekts urbanana.

Using your own smartphone or tablet, you will explore the outdoor exhibition space and interact with the works in real time. You will make fairies dance, witness an art theft, communicate with digital characters, play virtual chess and much more...
