Digitalia: Art & The Economy of Ideas

2018
The First Augmented Reality Museum Exhibition in San Francisco

This exhibition was created in collaboration with YesUniverse & EyeJack
Celebrating afrofuturism, net art, animation, XR, & gaming experiences through the lens of fine art

Yuwote Charvet
Logo is set in Sweet Sans Light and Yuwote Charvet: an afrofuturist typeface designed in Nairobi, Kenya by Kevin Karanja.

New Palo Alto by Iddris Sandu
Some pieces were accessible by bespoke apps and viewing technology


EyeJack translates wall text from Yuwote Charvet to the more legible Sweet Sans
Many pieces were activated from static images or glyphs into audio/visual works via the EyeJack app.
