What if we could see the European art that has been hidden from us so far? In the project “KAIROS. The Right Moment” Christian Zott takes a look at the unpainted and unseen pictures. The painter Wolfgang Beltracchi and the photographer Mauro Fiorese are creating remarkable, unique works for the project.

Just in time for the “KAIROS. The Right Moment” exhibition opening, ZOTT Artspace has launched the app for the exhibition. The paintings by Wolfgang Beltracchi and photographs by Mauro Fiorese, with which ZOTT Artspace links 2,000 years of European art with its history can now be explored using augmented reality. It offers easy and comprehensive access to the until today unpainted moments in European history–created in the artistic voices of old masters–as well as the treasure rooms of our cultural heritage. These features make the app a unique experience:
– Augmented Reality allows us to immerse ourselves in the groundbreaking events that Wolfgang Beltracchi deals with in his works
– The artists gives insights into their work
– Info points explain the central elements of the works by Beltracchi and Fiorese
– The painting style, composition and coloring are explained step by step
– Interactive games provide entertaining tasks
The app is also designed for use in the exhibition. By pointing a tablet or mobile phone at a work of art visitors can discover its history.
The KAIROS app from ZOTT Artspace is freeware for Android and Apple.
