As part of this year’s Curiocity Brisbane (22 March to 2 April), Queensland-based artists Martin Edge and Pia Robinson have created a major outdoor work aimed at bringing joy and delight with the help of augmented reality (AR).

Edge is a proud ambassador for Autism Queensland and has created the work I SEE, Martin Edge to showcase his lens on the world.

Edge tells ArtsHub: ‘I’ve painted the world according to Martin – it’s from my everyday life, the future, the past and the present. There are things from my memory, and I’ve painted them because it makes me happy.’
