has become the first artist in the world to integrate public art with GOOGLE GLASS. Viewers can see this revolutionary work where technology enhances art by visiting the National Portrait Gallery.His artwork reflects not only his past experience working in an eyeglass store, but also his patriotism.
"Portrait of America" is a mixed media work. The background is red, white, and blue. Numerous pairs of glasses are attached to the work and images of significant figures in history lie under the glasses.
Viewers wear Google Glass to go deeper into the artwork. According to the artist, "when a viewer slips on Google Glass, and directs his gaze at a particular part of the flag, the device begins to play one of more than 50 video or audio clips". The technology also works in reverse. The artist explains, "these multimedia features are meant to provoke a reaction from the audience—one that is then recorded and shared in a live stream on the artist's personal website."
This revolutionary work may be the start of a trend...it will be exciting to see where other artists go with this idea!
