ARC NOVO EXIBITION

ARC Novo is an expansive virtual gallery reimagining how we experience art and events in the digital age. With vast dimensions of 50 feet in height, 200 feet in length, and 50 feet in width, ARC Novo provides a spacious environment capable of hosting multiple artists and their works simultaneously. Designed to support various standardized file types, the gallery ensures flexibility for artists to display their creations in diverse formats, from digital sculptures and video installations to interactive media, all within one unified virtual environment.

ARC Novo can be explored across multiple platforms, allowing art enthusiasts to engage with the space from virtually anywhere. The gallery is accessible through standard web browsers on desktop, optimized for both iOS and Android for a seamless mobile experience, and offers a fully immersive environment in Virtual Reality through the Quest headset. Additionally, ARC Novo can be experienced in Augmented Reality using devices like the Hololens and Magic Leap, bringing a scaled version of the gallery directly into a viewer’s physical space.

ARC Novo is more than a virtual venue; it’s an experience that connects artists with a global audience, unbounded by the constraints of a physical gallery. With ample room for hosting events, artist showcases, and collaborative exhibitions, it represents the vast potential of digital spaces to foster personal and immersive connections over art. In ARC Novo, exploring, interacting, and engaging with art feels as intimate as it is pioneering, transforming how we view art in a truly accessible and interactive format.

ARC NOVO GALLERY

ARC Novo debuted with an exciting sci-fi art exhibition featuring a roster of incredible artists, and captivating visitors from May 25 to June 8, 2021. This showcase brought futuristic themes to life, inviting audiences to explore visionary landscapes, concept art, 3D sculptures, and immersive digital works within the gallery’s expansive virtual environment.

Each piece in the exhibition is by artists who love to explore and push the boundaries of science fiction and digital art, providing a glimpse into alternate realities for us as viewers to enjoy.

The event itself has come to an end but you can explore an archived version of the exhibit below.

  • “Science fiction encourages us to explore the uncharted frontiers that lie in the deepest caverns of our imagination. We are pulled in by the unknown and freed by the exploration of its existence.”

ARTISTS

In curating ARC Novo's sci-fi exhibition, each artist featured holds a special place in my creative journey. They are visionaries whose work has shaped, inspired, and pushed the boundaries of our entire industry.

This exhibition wasn’t just an event; it was a dream come true. Being able to create and share a space where we could celebrate the imagination and skill of my peers was an incredible experience. For years, I’ve wanted to showcase our work together, with a focus on the art, the dedication, and the craft that go into each piece. ARC Novo provided the perfect venue for this vision, uniting artists whose work continues to inspire me and offering a space where our community could explore, admire, and truly engage with the art that drives us.

Posters

I created a series of virtual flyers that showcased the work of each participating artist, transforming their art into compelling posters and flyers for the event.

The flyers not only served as promotional materials but also as collectibles, resonating with fans and art enthusiasts alike. Each piece was carefully crafted to pay tribute to the distinct vision of the artists involved, inviting audiences to experience a preview of what awaited them inside the virtual gallery.
