Art City Tour
On Friday the 18th, the Art City Tour will be held with the launch of two virtual reality apps.One of them will allow users to experience the capital and discover it in a different way, without the need to use Waze or Google Maps.In addition, that same day another app will be presented that will allow a mural located in the Alliance Française to be brought to life.
“To end the activities of the 75th anniversary of the Alliance Française, we wanted to give this mural even more life, thanks to augmented reality technology.That is why we have joined forces with Alejandro Segura, a Costa Rican visual artist, and Hyperfiction, a French collective dedicated to digital arts, to create this animation that you can see on your cell phone,” explained Emmanuelle Gines.
The activities are for everyone and those who wish to participate in the activities will be able to obtain more information on the social networks of the French Alliance on Facebook and Instagram.
For those who have experienced shifts in consciousness and know that more peace, joy, and love awaits in a better living environment. A bold shared vision. A living community and hub for innovation. A sustainable ecosystem for living and working. A model for the new future.
