This workshop will introduce you to Augmented Reality as a tool to create art and promote your art to millions of people. You will create your own Face Filter for Snapchat by exploring the possibilities of the human face as a canvas. No prior knowledge of the program is needed. Any skill, from physical painting to 3D sculpting, can be harnessed and turned into an Augmented Reality experience. With the constant improvement in quality of the mostly free AR programs, the potential on how to present your work in a digital, accessible and personal way has only begun.

Sarah Mayer born in Germany in 1990, she completed her Bachelor in Fashion and Design in 2015 in Amsterdam. During her studies, she interned for the renowned Belgian Fashion Designer, Walter Van Beirendonck (Member of the Antwerp Six) in 2013 and won the Lectra Award for her Hyper Craft collection (digital fashion minor) in 2014. Her work is further influenced by her experience on film sets. For the past three years (2019–2022), Sarah has shifted her focus entirely towards the Digital World. Her digital masks, partly available as Augmented Reality experiences (on Instagram, Snapchat and Tiktok), keep fashion at its core while not aiming to be fashionable. Instead, the designs question what fashion can become with a different medium.
