Art Gallery of NSW and the Tang exhibition

Currently the Art Gallery of NSW has a lovely exhibition called

The exhibition also had an augmented-reality installation. This shows part of it without the ipad with extra sensors

I enjoyed this as part of the exhibition, as it means that art works could be shown in an original context, even if it was not real, but a lot of photographs and sensors. It was lovely to be able to look all around the spaces, staring at the floor, and ceiling as well as the walls. It was also a very interesting way to look at the information in this space.

It would be interesting to think about local studies applications, and being able to show reconstructions/imaginings from different times in history and prehistory.  Imagine being able to look at a main street area, and see it change over time.
