Ben Brown’s Iconic Work in AR

BAD has taken a ground-breaking leap into the realm of augmented reality (AR) with the launch of our first BAD Poster exhibition bringing to life the work of local artist and former frontman of Hellmenn, Ben Brown (@mentalben).

The BAD team worked with Binyan Studios, based in Sydney, Los Angeles, London and New York, creating 3D models and animating Ben’s iconic work. Using the Artivive mobile app, you can experience art coming to life on the walls of Brookvale at Bucketty’s, Supreme Coffee and Manly Spirits, as well as the corner of Orchard Lane and Orchard Road.
