Collectors in Egypt this month to tour the annual Cairo International Art District (CIAD) festival can witness the first art exhibition to use the Pyramids of Giza as a canvas, aided by AR technologies.

Forever is Now II harnesses the narrative potential of AR in the artistic sphere. Using the pyramids as a backdrop, it meditates on the past, present and the connections between man and technology, nature and inheritance with ambitious public artworks by 12 Egyptian and international artists.
