BOLDER AR mobile app - an interactive Augmented Reality companion app for the BOLDER Exhibition at Footscray Community Arts Centre, Melbourne, Australia.

To use BOLDER AR, you must be located at the BOLDER Exhibition in the Roslyn Smorgon Gallery at Footscray Community Arts Centre, Melbourne, Australia.

BOLDER is an interdimensional art exhibition that celebrates visibility and individuality by artist Steven Tran. Building on his first solo exhibition, BOLD in 2021, BOLDER takes Steven’s drawings and paintings to new realms with Augmented Reality (AR) and expanded sensory experiences. Using his abstract style, Steven encourages his audiences to be distinct, daring and different. 

This exhibition provides viewers with new ways of seeing, hearing and experiencing. It showcases delightful patterns, encouraging audiences to be visible and to be BOLD. Steven invites each and every person to step into his imagination and journey through spooky staircases, where structures evolve and explode. 


“My favourite thing about this exhibition is that it is in my style and I recognise myself” – Steven Tran


Bolder Exhibtion is presented by Footscray Community Arts as part of the ArtLife Residency Program.

Bolder AR app is created by Victoria University's Hive Lab in collaboration with Steven Tran.
