Nancy Baker Cahill is a leading artist of augmented reality, placing immersive digital works into the air above real places, and Cento continues that boundary-pushing practice as part of the Whitney's digital program. Because it's viewable online, you can experience this one without setting foot in the museum — a fitting form for art about expanded, networked space. If you're curious about where art goes when it leaves the wall, explore Cento from anywhere.
What to expect
Expect a digital, augmented-reality artwork accessed online rather than in a physical gallery. The experience is screen-based and exploratory. Follow the Whitney's links to engage with it directly.
