Art like you’ve never seen before

When people think art pieces, they usually imaging static, unmoving expressions of an artist’s emotions and vision. To get the most out of the piece, you usually need a tour guide to tell you all about the piece that you’re looking at. Samsung, in cooperation with the Yuchengco Museum is changing all of that with their collaborative efforts, which has resulted in a unique digital art experience dubbed Relative Realities.

The exhibit, powered by Samsung’s UHD smart TVs and tablets, is supplemented by a mobile app dubbed FACETS which uses augmented reality to give the viewer a unique museum experience like no other.

The app allows you to get a look inside the minds of the artists who created the art pieces in the Yuchengco Museum, and, in the case of the work of six contemporary Filipino artists tapped by the company for the exhibit, it shows you a different perspective of their art pieces via augmented reality.

Samsung also has several of its high-end TVs on display during the exhibit, including the largest UHD TV in the PH, the 85-inch HU8500 as well as the largest curved UHD TV in the world, the 78-inch HU9000. Relative Realities is on view at Yuchengco Museum from August 7 to September 8, 2014. People who want to visit the musuem may want to download the FACETS app before hand, through the Google Play store here.
