Venice VR: ‘These Sleepless Nights’ by Gabo Arora and Edward Saatchi
noproscenium.com: The Venice Film Festival could not go amiss without the Magic Leap One making an appearance this year. A good thing, then, as the new augmented reality glasses were featured in two interesting projects to boot — one of which is These Sleepless Nights, a documentation in AR and director Gabo Arora’s latest work.

I particularly enjoy art such as this. Art that is interactive, environmental, and above all, says something. Art has power to affect people and promote change. This piece does all of that. Even more so it is not abstracted from our world with its use of technology bringing forward the true-alities of our world. Technology is often forgotten as a tool for art, that is the technology that stems further than wooden sticks, paper, and colorful liquid often times. This of course excludes projection as technological art. All other forms of technology are lost in art for one reason or another but this use of augmented reality bridges the worlds to bring a true piece of art using the traditional and the technological. Augmented reality is however, only touched here. AR along with other technologies can really work their way into art and provide just as brilliant conceptualized pieces as this piece provides to its audiences.
