Renowned New York-based artist Jessica Angel teamed up with Kusama and Spheroid Universe to physically implement the Voxel Bridge project in Vancouver.
The final of the previous works was the presentation of the project at the Vancouver Biennale #ArtProject2020 in November. Today's active preparations are being made for its opening in the spring of 2021. This public artwork will transform the area underneath Vancouver’s Cambie Street Bridge into an immersive experience to transport visitors between physical and digital worlds.
Voxel Bridge is an iconic structure in Vancouver. Jessica Angel intends to transform the space under the bridge into a blockchain world. It is going about an artistic attempt to visualize technology using, among other things, Augmented Reality (AR) technology. This 34,000 square feet work will explore the intersection between the physical and the digital and give a possible immersion insight into digital worlds.
This installation, which is being realized by Jessica Angel in collaboration with Kusama and Spheroid Universe, not only provides an opportunity to imagine a “matrix” of digital worlds, but more closely to reality mode of thinking about the democratization of art, which is especially important for those environments called “smart cities”.
The Spheroid Universe is interested in the very attempt to show one new digital technology with the help of another new digital technology (namely, with the help of AR). Such an attempt reveals a certain new feature of the modern world - the “through” nature of its measurements and the universality of tech-solutions.
