United Visions is an AR experience by Tin&Ed which resurrects the fantastical conjurings of English poet and painter William Blake. In it, his strange, hybrid creatures are sampled and sculpted via 3D software, and animated using motion capture technology. Here, good and evil melt into one another, embodied by mutating apparitions. A poetic, thumping soundtrack by hip-hop producer Just Blaze sets the tone for a world where rigid boundaries dissolve, and where lightness and dark appear in dynamic union. This app requires the following device or newer: iPhone 11, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd Gen). iPad Pro 11-inch (1st Gen).
