ABOUT
This augmented reality mural is a collaboration with Liz Hickok and is installed in the Sunnyvale City Hall which is in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The 5’x9’ framed piece is one of four commissioned artworks for a gorgeous, newly designed building.
Inspired by Sunnyvale’s varied and vibrant character Liz created a symbolic bouquet of flowers. Each element in the bouquet represents a connection to Silicon Valley. The delicate, yet resilient, California Poppies are some of the first flowers to return after wildfires, Apricot flowers reference the history of orchard farming, and Milkweed highlights the monarch butterfly’s migration through the valley.
The distortion of the flowers echo the movements of wind, fire, and water.
The added augmented reality experience amplifies those movements, bringing a third dimension to the flowers that bloom outwards into City Hall.
