As an archivist, developer, project manager, video editor, and rights clearer I helped create an AR adaptation of the globe-touring David Bowie is museum exhibition alongside my colleagues at Planeta and the wonderful teams at the David Bowie Archive and Sony Music Japan. It probably comes as no surprise that working so close with Bowie’s art was fabulous and humbling.

The app, made for both iOS and Android, features every item from the physical exhibition, plus a few exclusives from our friends at the David Bowie Archive. For reference that’s over 400 items, including dozens of costumes that we scanned, photographed, and modeled–with help from our friends at WOMP–to create 3D models of the outfits and objects. In the Spring of 2019 it won a Webby, and in early 2020 it won gold at the German Design Awards. It’s gorgeous and you should check it out.
