Hi there,
I'm happy to share with you a number of attractions for the Sukkot holiday.
'Seeing the Invisible'- Augmented Reality at the Jerusalem Botanical Garden in Givat-Ram - A New International Exhibition
The largest exhibition of contemporary art works created in augmented reality (AR) technology seen in Israel will be displayed simultaneously in 12 botanical gardens around the world, a first-of-its-kind international collaboration entirely initiated by the Jerusalem Botanical Garden, the Outset Fund and supported by the Jerusalem Foundation.
Thirteen leading Israeli and international artists are participating in an exhibition that will open simultaneously in 12 botanical gardens around the world. The works will be viewed through a dedicated app for the exhibition SEEING THE INVISIBLE that visitors to the exhibition will use while wandering around the beautiful botanical garden. Most of the works are large in size and deal with issues related to nature, the environment, sustainability, and the encounter between the physical and digital world.
Alongside the exhibition, there will be a variety of activities for children every day: making paper flower pots and sowing wildflowers from the garden's seed collection that they can take home, adding a "layer to reality" by drawing on a transparent slide and placing it in the garden. There will be tasks and activities that will connect the children to nature, and each task will be accompanied by a stamp from the instructors.
It is recommended to download the "seeing the invisible" exhibition app before arriving at the garden. Available on ISTORE and Google Play. In addition, don't forget to come with a fully charged mobile device or iPad including headphones.
