Augmented reality art installation brings life to Cambie Bridge
A stunning augmented reality exhibition is slated for installation underneath South Vancouver’s Cambie Bridge.
The public art, titled Voxel Bridge, is created by Columbian artist Jessica Angel. Spanning 18,000-square-feet, the artwork explores how public space can be constructed and used both physically and digitally.
