Description
CasadoArt for iOS is an AR app cthat reveals another dimension to a public art sculpture by artist Jos Carlos Casado on view in NYC at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem through September 30, 2019.
I Don't Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Ah Me... is inspired by writer and activist Maya Angelous groundbreaking 1969 autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."
Created out of archival printed aluminum morphed into unique sculptures, no two individual pieces are the same. The sculpture becomes interactive when another dimension is revealed with this augmented reality app.
