Augmented Visions

Each art piece can be appreciated simply as works of acrylic on canvas, with a palette consisting of the primary colors of light and of printing. The works have the discipline of De Stijl, the modernist movement spearheaded by such artists as Piet Mondrian.

Viewed through the lens of any smartphone camera, built-in software reveals a hidden meaning - which transforms the artwork into something more.

Each piece is revealed as a two-line poem, a couplet - encoded poetry. The title comprises the first line, with the second line encoded in the artwork, an experiment in art, poetry, and augmented reality.

The encoding for the Lines series is a two-dimensional barcode, a QR code readable with any smartphone, but painstakingly worked by hand in acrylics with a palette preserving the contrast required by the code.

"Peralta’s cultural and technological activities culminate in his current oeuvre...

AUGMENTED VISIONS embeds his poetry  in the composition, to be decoded by the viewer’s smartphone camera, creating interactive modern art that, like a Mondrian, still has the ability to startle."
