my name is Heather day I'm an abstract painter based here in San Francisco Facebook invited me to join them on their recent AR project that Mark Zuckerberg presented at f8 you know this is actually this is at least at Facebook headquarters and you know without I went to reality this actually just looks like a blank wall I think the coolest part was actually thinking about how I can approach painting differently and how it's really about space and negative space and it's rather architectural it did a lot of sketches where I tried to think about how the painting could come off the wall and that was the hardest part I kept wanting the paint to go on to the wall and realizing that it could actually happen right in front of me or be around me or it could be standing in it so we basically made kind of a digital AR painting but the difference of what you see on camera there is it wasn't like an animated movie we were actually making all of the marks you see there they were physically painted and then kind of collage into an ARP I think this project was a really big stepping-stone for art it could potentially provide tools for artists in the future to make something like this on their own if we could keep pushing her further and it also kind of changes the idea of how we experience our you know we use our phones all the time why don't we take advantage of that and give artwork a different component and view it differently through it through different lens
