Historians checked every detail of the composition, so the AI assisted image work stayed historically accurate rather than decorative. The museum team and the production team both explain how it was built.https://stories.artivive.com/m/dine-with-sisi.f64d6283.mp4200 https://stories.artivive.com/aston-martin-f1-hayden-bone/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/aston-martin-f1-hayden-bone.8dc16520.jpgAston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team x Hayden Bone Studio: velvet art in ARHayden Bone Studio painted the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team car by hand on velvet, a technique better known from 1970s poster art than from motorsport. With Artivive as the AR platform, the painting turns cinematic: the phone shows the car pulling away, the track building around it and the light moving across the velvet. The AMR Velvet Art Collection was exhibited during the British Grand Prix within the team's Paddock Club and The Lawn hospitality environments.https://stories.artivive.com/m/aston-martin-f1-hayden-bone.f532bf80.mp427 https://stories.artivive.com/wwf/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/wwf.b271ce3f.jpgCroatia's first AR mural, painted in smog-eating colourDaj ribi sansu, give the fish a chance, is the first augmented reality mural in Croatia, painted by Boris Bare at Rapska 26b in Zagreb for WWF Adria with animation by Mate Zaja and Duje Stojak. The wall is painted with photocatalytic colours that break down air pollutants, and the AR layer turns the painted sea into a moving argument about what overfishing does to it.

Viennese artist Tyrone Egbowon, with DEI advisor Len Charles, repainted the scene with ambassadors from many backgrounds, and it became The Feast for All. In the museum, visitors scan the painting and the people in it speak: personal accounts of being turned away at a Viennese club door and of what an inclusive nightlife would look like.https://stories.artivive.com/m/feast-for-all-absolut-khm.c0bbff2a.mp4116 https://stories.artivive.com/michaela-konrad-albertina/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/michaela-konrad-albertina.2e21e567.jpgComic canvases that move: Albertina ModernMichaela Konrad paints in the visual language of 1950s American comics, and at Albertina Modern in Vienna her canvases were extended with sound and motion through Artivive. Visitors open the app in front of a painting and the panel starts to move, which is exactly what a comic frame always promised. In her own words in the film, the appeal is that she can now put the video she imagines out of the image itself.https://stories.artivive.com/m/michaela-konrad-albertina.35b4d29a.mp467 https://stories.artivive.com/bombay-sapphire/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/bombay-sapphire.3971cd5e.jpgBombay Sapphire: AR on the bottleBombay Sapphire put the serve on the bottle itself.

Artivive put the stories behind the stars: scan a name and you get the life, in picture and voice, of architect Gabriele Heidecker who co-initiated the walk, of Ute Bock who spent her life supporting young refugees, of Ernestine von Sternegg who founded the hospital that still exists, of writer Eugenie Kain, painter Michaela Pfaffinger, mathematician Olga Taussky-Todd and housemaid and diarist Kaethe Dirnesberger.

The screen spent centuries cut into the wall covering of a room at Schloss Eggenberg in Graz and was only recognised there in 2001. Together with AT&S, Artivive animated it, so Expo visitors hold up a phone and watch the vanished city come to life with narration and effects. Four hundred years later, the artwork went home.https://stories.artivive.com/m/osaka-folding-screen-expo-2025.02c03824.mp4299 https://stories.artivive.com/little-prince-exhibition-vnitroblock-prague/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/little-prince-exhibition-vnitroblock-prague.a876f035.jpg17 animated illustrations: The Little Prince, PragueVnitroblock in Prague showed 17 of Eliška Podzimková's Little Prince illustrations, each 70 by 70 centimetres and each animated through Artivive, from October to December 2019. She built the room as a whole world rather than a hang: fog, fairy lights and sound around the pictures, and the animation running inside every frame. In the film she explains why the tool fit her: she is an illustrator and an animator, and this is the first format that lets her show both at once.https://stories.artivive.com/m/little-prince-exhibition-vnitroblock-prague.1f0552c8.mp458 https://stories.artivive.com/kaweah-health-2/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/kaweah-health-2.8f724672.jpgA hospital brand launched on a 24 foot AR muralKaweah Health in California had eight weeks to launch a new brand, and in house graphic designer Jennifer Manduffie proposed something the sector had not done: a 24 foot augmented reality mural on the side of the Osepia wing. She had seen AR on a bottle label while shopping, found Artivive in Vienna, and built the mural and its digital layer herself.

Twelve finalists were selected and shown at the Artivive Art Space in Vienna, with the aim of convincing the museums to put the augmented versions into their own rooms.

Each artist drew a static work, often in Procreate, then added an AR layer that ranges from a short loop to a full narrative about the environmental issue in the picture.

One of the artists who treats AR as a native material rather than an add-on.https://stories.artivive.com/m/superama-artist-highlight.40c15953.mp437 https://stories.artivive.com/artivive-at-world-expo-2025-osaka/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/artivive-at-world-expo-2025-osaka.0c5d9005.jpgArtivive at World Expo 2025 OsakaA short vertical look at Artivive's presence at World Expo 2025 in Osaka.

Each one works the same way: a partner sets the theme, artists submit an augmented artwork, the selected pieces get exhibited. A format that produces content, an audience and a mailing list at once.https://stories.artivive.com/m/open-calls-reel.a9c9fad1.mp440 https://stories.artivive.com/jameson-bottle/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/jameson-bottle.524317dd.jpgJameson: a whiskey label that tells storiesA Jameson bottle on a shop shelf during the holiday season becomes the entry point to a campaign: scanning the label plays the animation over the bottle, on the shelf, in the hand or on the table.

Published by WALD Magazin with creative direction by Pia Scharler and photography by Craig Dillon.https://stories.artivive.com/m/bundesforste-calendar.04a8100c.mp45 https://stories.artivive.com/three-selfie-walls-albertina/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/three-selfie-walls-albertina.f11105f8.jpgThree selfie walls built on DürerThe Albertina installed three selfie walls built on Duerer's studies, so visitors have a photo spot that belongs to the collection rather than a branded backdrop. Each wall animates differently through the app, which means three separate photos and three separate posts from the same visit. Museum merchandising logic applied to the camera roll.https://stories.artivive.com/m/three-selfie-walls-albertina.ba5b0d34.mp414 https://stories.artivive.com/timisoara-postcards/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/timisoara-postcards.bb95ec3f.jpgTimisoara postcards for a Capital of CultureTimisoara was European Capital of Culture in 2023, and Romanian illustrator Dan Ungureanu drew the city's architecture for a set of postcards and posters. International animators added the AR layer, so the drawn facades move when a visitor scans the card: the building on the paper and the building across the street, in the same frame. A souvenir that carries the city's story home rather than a photograph of it.https://stories.artivive.com/m/timisoara-postcards.dcdbcc4c.mp412 https://stories.artivive.com/enbyx-total-waste/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/enbyx-total-waste.ba040110.jpgTOTAL WASTE: an AR artist book from BerlinTOTAL WASTE is an augmented reality artist book by Berlin based artist Yaron Maim, published in 2019 under the ENBYX label. The printed pages hold collage and typography, and the AR layer turns them into moving sequences about DIY identity and a pop culture without gender rules. The book stays a book: no screen replaces it, the phone just adds the second voice.https://stories.artivive.com/m/enbyx-total-waste.955de4b1.mp444 https://stories.artivive.com/albertina-van-gogh/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/albertina-van-gogh.35be99c5.jpgVan Gogh in motion: Albertina, ViennaA Van Gogh cafe scene at the Albertina fills up with life in augmented reality: the brushwork starts to move, figures come into the picture and the room around the tables keeps going beyond the frame. Visitors film it with their own phone and walk away with the animation, not just a photo of a painting.https://stories.artivive.com/m/albertina-van-gogh.9dd56d1e.mp413 https://stories.artivive.com/art-we-are-daily-ink-drawings/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/art-we-are-daily-ink-drawings.a8daa02c.jpgWe are unity in art: drawings that moveFor We Are Unity In Art, the artist behind Art We Are Daily draws faces in ink on yellow paper, then layers the animation over the drawing with Artivive. Through the phone the sketched faces blink, shift and dissolve into each other while the paper stays exactly as it was drawn. A small studio piece that shows how little you need to publish an AR artwork.https://stories.artivive.com/m/art-we-are-daily-ink-drawings.efc85dc5.mp439 https://stories.artivive.com/white-label-customer-experience/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/white-label-customer-experience.b814142e.jpgWhite label: the customer never sees usThe same Gota Coffee experience seen from the customer's side: the brand's own site, the brand's own logo animating, and no sign that Artivive is underneath it.

Artists publish the layer in Bridge, audiences scan the artwork and watch it move, either in the free app or straight in the browser with WebAR.

Answers are given right in the AR view. No kiosk, no tablet, no extra queue, which matters at an event where several hundred thousand people pass through.https://stories.artivive.com/m/interactive-ar-survey-expo-2025-osaka.8e7d70a3.mp440 https://stories.artivive.com/transform-campaigns/2026-08-21https://stories.artivive.com/media/transform-campaigns.51749025.jpgTransform your campaigns with augmented realityThe pitch for marketing teams in one minute: posters, packaging, print ads and out of home get a digital layer, and the audience opens it with the phone already in their hand.
