Window Wonderland 2023

With the holiday season upon us, Toronto’s award-winning winter art exhibit, Window Wonderland, returns to the Junction for its fourth consecutive year. The magical urban art walk, presented by Isaan Der Thai Kitchen, will transform the Junction into a FREE outdoor art gallery featuring 20 spectacular augmented reality (AR) window installations and five murals, all designed by local and international artists.

The first of its kind for the City of Toronto, Window Wonderland is presented in collaboration with the internationally renowned AR app Artivive. This revolutionary app adds a layer of augmented reality to traditional art, creating new experiences and leaving audiences in awe. Visitors at Window Wonderland can simply download the Artivive app, point their smartphones at the artwork on the windows and wall murals, and voila –  watch the artist’s creation come to life!

I had the privilege of contributing to this remarkable event as an animator and augmented reality designer, collaborating with Faith Emaan and Benjamin Mitchley on the epic cycle window animation and augmented reality design using Artivive. It was an incredible experience to bring art to life in such a unique and immersive way, adding another layer of magic to the already enchanting atmosphere of Window Wonderland.
