This summer has been a great time to launch our 4D augmented reality projects here in the tri state area (NY, NJ, CT) and we have our latest project to share with our viewers.
This one brought 4D AR art of a goldfish swimming in a fishbowl while watching the chalk drawn koi pond drawn in real time during our event.
Watch Wendy and me have some fun interacting with the 4D augmented reality goldfish and the chalk koi pond art...
At left is our previous 4D augmented reality work from Westfield NJ next to our latest at the 31st Avenue Open Streets Program in NYC showing professional chalk art to our own community which was especially fun for us.
We're excited about the possibilities with 4D augmented reality with chalk art, murals, and the beauty of hand drawn art in all ways with our clients. If you feel the same reach out to Art for After Hours to discuss your plans with us soon.

With a new year underway, we look back at the 2017 3D and 4D pieces by internationally recognized artist Anthony Cappetto created around the US and around the world.
The art was fun to design, to create, and we look forward to more 3D art for our clients, returning and new.
New York Build: Javits Center, NYC
Inspired by the iconic 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper', we created the steel beam hovering over Manhattan at a Building Tradeshow.
'Collapsing Ramp' Garden Grove, CA: A 3D chalk art piece tying in augmented reality (4D) seen through an onsite monitor. We used digital models of robots and fluttering flags of our client to bring human interaction (me on bicycle), the 3D hand drawn chalk art, and the augmented reality animation.
Sunflowers and dragonflies in Battery Park, NYC: A street art installation for an event for Battery Park City Parks in June.
'Freedom' Baltimore, MD: A social and political statement made to address the current atmosphere in the US with the concept of butterflies escaping oppression in any of its forms in September.
'Betta Fish Kite' Crewe, England, United Kingdom: Expressing the beauty and conceptuality of a fish kite hovering over the countryside at a festival in the UK last August.
'A Puzzling Reality' Tizarte Event in Antwerp, Belgium: A 3D street art piece using a purposely fading motif of a puzzle fading away to 'reality' and objects such as the sunflowers fading from higher resolution to simpler resolution. Our dragonflies were designed consistently at the same level across the piece to overlay/tie in the fadeaway concept.
' Refugee: Here but Not Here...': A serious piece address the issue of refugee children throughout the world, although we focused on Syria, South Sudan, and Myanmar. The child in an atmosphere of desolation enjoys a respite blowing bubbles (given to her by an aid worker) evanescent, temporal just as we feel for the child's plight but move on quickly - Here but Not Here...
LIC Beer Festival, Long Island City NYC: A sunny Fall day brought us to create this entertaining design with pumpkins, pretzels, and of course - beer!
This was a fun year with the art experimenting with tying in animated augmented reality, conceptual ideas, sociopolitical messages, and interacting with our public in the US and abroad.
A special thanks to Wendy Stum who assisted and collaborated with me on some of the pieces especially 'Freedom' and ' Refugee: Here but Not Here...'.

This 3D installation recently completed takes a serious turn to show 3D street art's ability to bring a message to its viewers.
Art for After Hours 3D street artist Anthony Cappetto with Wendy Stum created the art at the Sarasota Chalk Festival in Venice, Florida this year as we have been regular participants since 2011 with many 3D exhibition works. This one was more important to us in its message and delivery.
This is a video clip we did during the event in which Cappetto is blowing bubbles in solidarity with our refugee girl whom an aid worker had given a bottle of soap bubbles to entertain her for a few moments, taking her away from her stark conditions around her.
‘Refugee’: Here, but Not Here… Anthony Cappetto with Wendy Stum
In the spirit of the Sarasota Chalk Festival’s 2017 theme of Evanescence, we present the story of a refugee child. Amidst the rubble and desolation of a stop on her journey, she blows bubbles representing some of the nations with the most dramatic refugee crises. We selected South Sudan, Syria, and Myanmar (Burma). As a child, enjoying for the briefest of moments - a chance to be a child while sharing a message with the viewers. We hear and read about refugees’ plights, but our thoughts move past them as we put down the information and move on with our lives.
They are ‘here, but not here’.

We've had a summer (and early Fall), series of 3D street art that has taken us back and forth from UK and Europe, to express a timely statement, and finally to bring 3D chalk art as local entertainment in our home base here in New York City.
This is the story-

Late Sunday afternoon in Long Island City with the Manhattan skyline in the distance. It was great to be able to do these 3D street art pieces in different places with fun, interesting people, creative artists from different parts of the world. Most exciting projects await!

Taking a minute to share a fun and rewarding experience Wendy and I had bringing street art to our community recently in Battery Park in New York City's Lower Manhattan area.
We were invited to bring street painting to the Battery Park Community for their first annual Community Field Day in a twofold fashion; the first, a conceptual street art design on the concrete wall in a handball court while the second component was a large, winding, snake for the children in attendance to jump in to color to their heart's content.
Our street art piece 'Dragon Flies and Sunflowers' for the adults...
And our giant snake moving through the pavement sea of children's chalking for a complete connection and artistic experience.
Wendy from our team adding base color to our giant snake prior to childrens' arrival...
Working on the vertical street art...
Detail of a Sunflower, tall grass on the concrete wall...

All in all, a fun day sharing our street painting with the community in Battery Park City and look forward to working on more street art in New York City and wherever our work takes us.

Some imagery to see...

Just got back from an exciting project in Garden Grove, CA where Art for After Hours created a 4D project using animated augmented reality with traditional, hand drawn and designed 3D chalk art for the Open Streets Event April 1st. No jokes here! :D
Here is our video highlighting the art and the tech... Watch for Anthony interacting with the animated robot in AR live (at the time), jumping briefly on the bike, then choosing to run, jump and exit the 'Collapsing Ramp' ...
Note: For information purposes -
Top: Finished 3D art
Bottom: 4D animated augmented reality added to art (robots and flags) live onsite. Photo seen through large monitor screen so there was a difference in colors.
Now some bright, active street painting pictures!
The importance of the 3D chalk work, traditionally hand drawn in our opinion brings the art and the technology together as past, present, and future as one cohesive whole.
Yes, a screen grab but the concept is clear - traditional 3D anamorphically drawn street painting can and does mingle well with animated AR for an experience in public engagement unlike any other in street art. Art for After Hours Founder and Artist Anthony Cappetto has been a Pioneer and an Early Adopter with virtual spaces, reality, and augmented reality demos and launches in the US and India since the mid 2000s with only more detailed, conceptual, and forward thinking engagements to come.
Anthony Cappetto is an internationally recognized artist known for his works in 3D anamorphic art in chalk and paint using 4D animated augmented reality, virtual reality, and virtual spaces as well as Founder of Art for After Hours, the first professional street painting art company in 2001.
