Snapchat is putting the AR in art, bringing giant sculptures to phone screens in famous locales across the world. Users can scan their surroundings to find the augmented reality art pieces, similar to how the Snapchat dancing hot dog pops up. Jeff Koons (famous for giant balloon animal sculptures) will kick off the new feature, but new artists will join in after. So far, leaked images show a giant swan in the fountain of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, a Popeye the Sailor sculpture on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, and more. (TechCrunch)
