AR MURALS

Augment El Paso, through the support of El Paso’s Museums and Cultural Affairs Department (MCAD), has selected four permanent murals and one *pop-up mural to be enhanced with Augmented Reality (AR). These murals are saturated in our unique culture, poignant imagery, and offer wisdom to all who wish to listen. These traits allowed new dimensions of movement, sound , and interaction to be realized and woven together into every mural to expand upon each of the artists’ visions.

By enhancing each mural with 3D graphics, animation, and audio, and more, we offer the viewer new ways to interact with these beautiful works of art . We encourage people to get out and reconnect with their city’s surroundings and have fun in doing so!

Gabriel Gaytan

Lincoln Park, 4001 Durazno

“Meso-American serpents represent natural movement and our pre-Hispanic culture. One serpent symbolizes the feminine energy and the other serpent is the masculine energy. Everything in creation consist the balanced of two opposites: male/female; hot/cold; good/bad; night/day; positive/negative; left/right. It is this balanced human beings strive to maintain.” - Gabriel Gaytan
