If you are a digital creator - designer / modeler / author of 3D and 2D artworks, this call is for you!

We are creating a city-wide festival / exhibition for digital art presented in location-triggered (GPs-triggered) Augmented Reality (AR) in the city of Zagreb, Croatia, with a possibility of spreading world-wide.

This is an opportunity to present your digital artworks and digital 3D and 2D artists through the medium of Augmented Reality, where the works are integrated into physical spaces of the city.

The artworks in AR will be viewed through mobile phones, through our AR platform “Equinox XR.”

Our goal and our inspiration is to spread awe and joy by combining the virtual and the physical, to decorate and enahnce beautiful physical locations with awesome virtual artworks!

We are hereby calling digital artists to contribute their work for this unique exhibition. This is generally targetted towards already existing works, maybe shown in the artist’s portfolio or demo pages, but original work is also very much appreciated!

In case of 3D artworks, our goal is to gather artworks with the following properties:

• Mandatory:
  • Animated 3D models - there needs to be at least some motion involved (more info is given in the Technical details chapter). Ask us for advice or help if you only have a non-rigged or non-animated model, maybe we can do something about it!
  • Integrates well with one of the 3 types of physical areas where the artwork will be shown. (urban, green, or water - more on this later)
• Optional (but highly recommended):
  • Artwork of conceptual nature - we are preseting the “feelings” related to contemporary “green” themes: ecology, sustainability, regeneration, harmony of urban areas and nature. This does not necessarily mean abstract shapes and abstract art.
  • Monumental to look at - of size and complexity which will be attractive for visitors to view, and produces a “wow” effect.
  • Alignment with the “Solarpunk” mindset and artistic directions.

Selected 3D artworks will be displayed as-is in the Augmented Reality platform. Among all artworks, we intend for at least 60% of them to be 3D.

For 2D digital artworks, the propositions are similar:

• It should integrate reasonably well with at least one of the three types of physical areas where it will be exhibited
• It will be exhibited as if inside simple 3D frames (not supplied by the artist)
• Images must be in either of two aspect ratios: 1:1 or 3:2
• They should have a connection to the contemporary “green” themes: ecology, sustainability, regeneration, harmony of urban areas and nature. This does not exclude abstract shapes and abstract art.

We are covering three types of physical areas:

• Urban / concrete jungle (the artwork will be placed on city squares or wide pedestrian lanes)
