I first heard of Marc-O-Matic in the Provocare Festival held two weekends ago in Prahran. A few of his works were exhibited in the Artboy Gallery and boy, were they mind blowing!
So this is how it works with Marc Ryan's art on display that day - you look at a 2D drawing of a house on the wall and you think 'Yeah ok, that's nice'. But once you download his app on your phone or iPad and hold it to the drawing, a 3D image of the same house pops up on the screen. Before you can say 'What in the world is happening', the house would also have grown legs, and and pranced around the screen.
You can hold the screen up close and see the top of the house, the bottom of the house, zoom in to see the different layers of the drawing. How cool is that! There are so many more ways to see one single drawing!
Apparently this genre of art has been around for some time. Gaz tells me that some comic books have incorporated this in their books so you can see a 'mini movie' of an action scene, for example. But this is the first time I have seen something like this and it has been a totally awesome experience for me.
