Gordon Cheung | AR App and Instagram Filter | A.Wong London
In celebration of the Lunar New Year in 2021, Gordon Cheung in collaboration with A. Wong’s Michelin starred restaurant in London, created The Year Of The Ox AR app and vinyl wrap of the restaurant. MetaObjects worked with Cheung to create the AR app available in GooglePlay and iOS App Store. Users can scan a QR code displayed outside the restaurant, currently closed due to the pandemic, to experience a site-specific AR animation during the New Year festivities. The animation includes a glitched animation of the mural using a pixel sorting algorithm with growing flowers and three lion dancers bouncing around the scene throwing bitcoins into the air as a wish of happiness and prosperity. The project was produced by Inez Suen with vinyl by Puck Studio.
In addition to the AR app, MetaObjects produced the Lucky Charm Instagram filter available on the artist’s Instagram @gordoncheung featuring the lion dance.
We have also launched the Gordon Cheung Studios AR app on iOS App Store and GooglePlay for Cheung's 10 year retrospective Transfer for Power at C. Project, Los Angeles (23 July-14 Aug 2021). The app features three AR experiences: Fear and Greed, Joy Luck and Lucky Lions.
