The ARTAR is centered around the several layers of reality that are hidden and presented to the spectators as response to their interaction with the painting or artwork. Such interaction happens on the spectators’ mobile devices, which act as windows into the multiple dimensions of the artwork. The system consists of three main elements: paintings, augmented elements, and interaction. In ARTAR, two types of augmented elements, animations and soundscapes, are embedded into the paintings. Animations provide a dynamic visual dimension that gets activated at specific positions of the painting and reveals hidden visual aspects of the artwork. Soundscapes accompany each painting, reproducing the sounds of the depicted ecosystem.
