A wild night
We set up a long waiting list while people because we only had one AR headset to show the experience to a shifting crowd. Meanwhile, visitors meandered into the other room, where more of Cryote’s art was displayed. We did not charge anything for experience. Despite sometimes rowdy crowd, the headset survived.
A vision for the future
We knew that night we had hit a nerve, we could push this much further.
Montréal was the perfect place for this new art culture.
This project would not have been possible without the help of Jason Gendreau, who graciously assisted us with his programming skills
