Utilisez la réalité augmentée pour découvrir les histoires

This application is an augmented reality experience that enriches the viewers perception of the art and promotes awareness of living with disabilities from various perspectives.

Jason Wilsher-Mills is a disabled digital artist who is now based in the East Midlands, using iPads to create paintings which detail my disability memories, popular culture, social history/heritage, creating new biographical narratives, through theatrical artifice & humour.

I initially painted traditionally, with oils, but since becoming disabled find the iPad screen more manageable, affording me the opportunity to create large pieces of artwork, through high-resolution files, modern Giclée printing methods & projection methods.

My work demonstrates my fascination with memory, particularly from childhood, through the use of imagery from popular culture, which reflects a particular time in my life. The work features family photos, Dr Who, rugby league players, pop/film stars, industrial/social heritage etc.. All of which I interact with to create a new and revised biography for myself, which in some ways ‘remedies’ the years I spent in hospital in Yorkshire.

The primary themes of the work include disability and illness, which has played such an important part of my life as a disabled person. Through the creative process I attempt to find ways to describe my daily experience.
