Voxel Bridge
A Transformation of Public Space
The underside of the south end of Vancouver’s Cambie Bridge has been transformed by artist Jessica Angel into a 19,000-square-foot (1,765-square-meter) public art installation that comes to life as the biggest blockchain-based augmented reality experience of its kind
There are twenty different interactive animations throughout the AR experience through which visitors learn about the creation and history of the Kusama network and how it’s funded and governed. The artist, Jessica Angel, uses live blockchain data as a creative tool to create a direct real-time projection of the blockchain, taking this abstract technical concept and visualizing it so that people can see it live through the artwork.
A multi-sensory adventure made possible by the revolutionary advancements in Augmented Reality (AR) developed for this installation by Spheroid Universe and supported by blockchain technology on the Kusama network
AR Integration
With the use of the Vancouver Biennale app, which can be downloaded at no cost for iOS and Android devices, visitors walk through the mural and use their cell phones to dive into an interactive digital wonderland. This multi-sensory adventure is made possible by the revolutionary advancements in Augmented Reality (AR) developed for this installation by Spheroid Universe and supported by blockchain technology on the Kusama network.
Voxel Bridge is a milestone event in Contemporary Art. The piece exists simultaneously in three worlds: in the real world under Vancouver’s Cambie Bridge, in Augmented Reality as experienced through the app, and it is connected to the blockchain in real time.
