Space, science and incredible women take center stage in A Cluster of Enigmas, an awe-inspiring, colorful mural that uses augmented reality to make
art come to life.
The mural, painted on a brick wall near the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City, is the first in a series of murals called Findings, by artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya.
As described in a statement on the Findings project website, is a vibrant AR-enabled mural pairing a mysterious class of cosmological entities with the luminous, diverse women of New York City.
