How do you translate a piece of contemporary art into an augmented reality experience?

Inspired by the AR.Trail developed by NGV, ACMI and Federation Square with Acute Art, experts in contemporary art and visual culture share their reflections on the future of this technology, the opportunities it provides to artists and the challenges encountered along the way.

What will all of this mean for the way we experience art, culture and public spaces moving forward?
