Artist Statement:
Wherever they are in the world, WAKPON takes its users on a journey to discover 10 contemporary Beninese artists whose work is featured in the Ouidah Museum collection and offers them a totally new experience, using specially-designed QR codes as AR markers to offer the viewer a guided tour through the gallery. Designed under the technical direction of Mr. Pierrick Chabi, it makes use of the possibilities afforded by the technology known as “augmented reality”.
