Seth Brown and comic art created this summer at NextFab Studio

Seth Brown is one of 4 YES students from The Enterprise Center in Philadelphia who participated in Breadboard’s summer Youth Outreach pilot program at NextFab Studio. Seth came to NextFab with aspirations to start a career as a comic book artist and develop an original series for publication. He was mostly hand drawing and sketching ideas. Over the summer he learned how to scan his drawings  into digital files and find tune them through Photoshop and Illustrator software programs.  He also laser etched his cover art using the Trotec Laser Cutter. We hope to feature Seth in an online interview and more images of his work in a future Breadboard blog post.

On Wednesday, September 1 @ 6-8pm Breadboard will host a talk & demo with Chris Manzione, founder of the Virtual Public Art Project. Breadboard is developing a VPAP Philadelphia project to be launched in October.

The Virtual Public Art Project (VPAP) is an Augmented Reality (AR) platform for the public display of digital works of art. VPAP is the first mobile AR outdoor art experience ever, and maximizes public reception of AR art through compatibility with both iPhone and Android platforms.

VPAP creates site-specific sculptures at a location that invite viewers in for close observation from all sides and from multiple perspectives. Augmented Reality (AR) is a view of the physical real-world environment merged with virtual computer-generated imagery in real-time. VPAP merges the real-world physical environment of public spaces around the world with site-specific virtual sculptures that can only be viewed in-the-round using the iPhone 3GS and Android phones when one is at the sculpture’s real-world location.

Read an interview with VPAP founder, Chris Manzione, on the Breadboard BLOG.

*Artists and individuals interested in submitting work for the VPAP Philadelphia exhibit please contact bbprograms[@]sciencecenter[dot]org (subject: VPAP)
