January 2020, the month that São Paulo celebrates its birthday, Dentsu Brasil invited us to take part on the research, curatorship and executive production of a very unique exhibition: Virtual Street Art - an augmented reality app developed with support from Japan House São Paulo.
The goal was to fill the space of legendary Paulista Avenue with 27 works of art, presenting a view of the possibilities contemporary urban art made available through digital means.
Created as a special gift to São Paulo's citizens, the interactive cultural experience went beyond the physical boundaries of Japan House São Paulo, reaching the streets and proposing a dialogue between art and audience through technology.
Working with GPS location, the Virtual Street Art app placed the works of art in several points of Paulista Avenue, and using augmented reality technology, a virtual interaction was made possible to the general public.
After March 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic, the app was available to be accessed from anywhere, stimulating people to practice social distancing.
