View any of 13 pieces of spectacular artwork set in the Historic Spanish Point landscape. "You can step inside it," Selby Gardens CEO Jennifer Rominiecki said of the impact of the augmented reality technology on the artworks. Seeing the Invisible places the same exhibition of commissioned artworks in analogous sites in 12 outdoor garden settings located in different biomes all around the world, creating parallels and contrasts between them. For example, the same work might be set within a group of tall Saguaro cacti in Tucson and among a lush forest of giant redwoods in Edinburgh. The AR nature of the exhibition allows for the creation of expansive, immersive works that engage with existing features of the natural landscape beyond the limitations of what is possible with physical artworks. Many of the works created for the exhibition will address related themes around nature, environment, sustainability, and explore the interplay of the physical world with the digital one. Seeing the Invisible features AR works by the following artists: • Ai Weiwei (b. 1957, Beijing, China; lives and works in Berlin Tempelhof Airport, Germany) • Refik Anadol (b. 1985, Istanbul, Turkey; lives and works in Los Angeles, USA) • El Anatsui (b. 1944, Anyako, Ghana; lives and works in Nigeria) • Ori Gersht (b. 1967, Tel Aviv, Israel; lives and works in London, UK) • Isaac Julien CBE (b.1960, London, UK; lives and works in London, UK) • Mohammed Kazem (b. 1969, Dubai, UAE; lives and works in Dubai, UAE) • Sigalit Landau (b. 1969, Jerusalem, Israel; lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel) • Daito Manabe (b. 1976, Tokyo, Japan; lives and works in Tokyo, Japan) • Sarah Meyohas (b. 1991, New York City, USA; lives and works in New York City, USA) • Mel O'Callaghan (b. 1975, Sydney, Australia; lives and works in Paris, France) • Pamela Rosenkranz (b. 1979, Switzerland; lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland) • Timur Si-Qin (b. 1984; lives and works in New York City, USA) • Jakob Kudsk Steensen (b. 1987, Denmark; lives and works in Berlin, Germany) 1 2 3 EXHIBIT continued from page 18 DISCOVER VENICE 2021-2022 20
