Winchester Riverwalk Exhibit - October 2023 - October 2024
The Winchester Cultural District has launched our inaugural sculpture and augmented reality exhibit - the Winchester Riverwalk. The exhibit is anchored by four sculptures and "augmented" by an evolving spatial web experience through Hoverlay.
Download the Hoverlay application onto your mobile device. Search for the WinchesterRiverWalk channel and set it as a favorite. Come down to the Cultural District and follow the map to view visual cyberarts and 3D imaging; hear music, poetry, artists, and nature sounds; or watch an installment of Just a Minute films. Check out Stefanie Timmerman's video of the Riverwalk exhibit - https://www.winchesterculturalcouncil.org/Riverwalk/opening |
