Snapchats Five Los Angeles AR Monuments What Are They & How To View Them

Snapchat has partnered with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to create five augmented reality monuments around LA. The LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives artworks were built using Snapchat’s technology and can be viewed through the Snapchat Camera. They are intended for exploring the histories of LA communities and to highlight their perspectives.

This isn’t the first time Snapchat and its parent company Snap have worked with LACMA. In 2018, Snap joined LACMA’s Art + Technology Lab Advisory Board, via which innovators across different technological industries contribute to the conversation about how museums will use technology in the future. And, in 2019, they collaborated on Christian Marclay’s Sound Stories, which used algorithms to create five immersive audiovisual installations — two of which were interactive — using Snapchat videos as the raw material.

For Monumental Perspectives, artists and technologists worked together to create the virtual monuments around LA. They can be viewed on the LACMA website or at their locations around the city. They were created by Mercedes Dorame, I.R. Bach, Glenn Kaino, Ruben Ochoa, and Ada Pinkston.
