I love it when an artistic medium reaches a level of maturity & ubiquity that we need no longer fetishize every once-novel moment (say, “Bayhem” in VFX) and instead let the expression just be (say, the realtime, brutal, almost shrugging VFX of District 9). So it is with this augmented reality sculpture project:

Fun stuff, but of course the *real* utility of this tech is to deploy it in public spaces without telling anyone, then letting some poor, unsuspecting slob live out his own “They Live” scenario 😉
Like so many things, this would make me wonder whether I was having a stroke. (I smell toast!!)
