Are you in NYC/the Brooklyn area?

AR and the metaverse have started, right?

Yes 2x = come to #snakelighter

Snake Lighter is part of the Bushwick Open Studios Project.

From September 20th onwards, it is open by appointment.

Snake Lighter is:

a. Sculpture, cinema and artworks for the metaverse. an exploration of GoPose AR. A collaboration between Daniel Bainbridge and Stephen Black.

b. showcase of Stephen Black’s educational, commercial, entertainment, tourism and food GeoPose-based AR projects (Easter Eggs)

First: watch this video by Ori Inbar about the present state of AR. This is from a panel hosted by the Altimetrik Collider in July, 2021.

More info on GeoPose, from another panel hosted by the Collider, with Christine Perey, Steve Smyth and Julia Beabout. Here you can also find my bio.

This short film was shot completely with AR and has been called as historically important as the world’s first website. It has never been shown publicly.

  • I’m a Kueh, You’re a Kueh AR collaborative work with Lady Wong Southeast Asian Patisserie

and many others…

Snake Lighter is messy, unpredictable, as beautiful as Spring, frustrating and amazing: it is a birth.

Looking forward to seeing you. And, if you schedule a viewing after the 9/20, we will have tea, coffee or a meal at A Pou’s Taste- where an Easter egg is hiding!

Stephen Black

To save time, and to view the Snake Lighter GeoPose AR experiences at your own pace, please download the XR Masters Spatial Web Browser app before you come.

For Google Play or the App store, search XR Masters.

BTW, although I have magnificent tech support, the rest is all self-funded. I just published two books, Newspaper Drumsticks and I ate Tiong Bahru. It would help me continue working with AR if you supported them.

(Crowdfunding/Patreon/NFT…these take so much time to properly set up for success, and I need to be doing AR stuff now!Paypal donations? THANKS! ar2wheels@gmail.com)

Hard copies of the books will be at Snake Lighter. Thank you!
