The COSMODREAMS proprietary COSMODREAMSAR application seamlessly blends art and state of the art technology. It offers an augmented reality experience, taking the viewer on an immersive journey through the alternative worlds of Ms. Marina Fedorova’s paintings, letting their stories unfurl in real time.

With COSMODREAMSAR animations can be watched at different angles: smartphone cameras will register any shifts in positioning in relation to the canvas, and more. The borderline between real life and augmented reality will virtually disappear, allowing everyone to step into the fascinating new realm.

The app can also scan Ms. Fedorova’s artworks featured on the cosmodreams.com website and in the exhibition catalogue, meaning that the journey can start from anywhere in the world.

In addition, the application supports the integration of sculptures into the exhibition space or any other interior, changing the size and angle of various objects.
For selfie enthusiasts, the project team has developed virtual masks resembling a variety of helmets. The special effect photographs taken by users will be stored in the phone automatically, with the option of sharing the selected ones on social media.

“I am far from considering the medium of painting in itself somehow inadequate or inferior. Such thoughts would mean the end of me as a painter. This being said, if the new technologies can add a playful interactive element and augment what has already been created, I see nothing wrong with seizing this opportunity. At times the viewer might want to see beyond the two-dimensional canvas; at other times a story told with the app completely transforms the narrative and brings an ironic twist to such a serious genre as oil on canvas,” comments the Artist, Ms. Marina Fedorova.

The COSMODREAMSAR will continue to grow even after the close of the exhibition: its developers envisage regular updates and will keep adding new features and functionalities.

The COSMODREAMSAR APP is free and can be downloaded at the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
