A dozen botanical gardens around the world will host sculptures by some of the greatest names in contemporary art this fall. What's special about this showcase, however, is that the artworks won't be visible to the naked eye, but through an accompanying application.

The Jerusalem Botanical Garden and the Outset Contemporary Art Fund set out to make the invisible visible through a major exhibition of augmented reality art. The curators, Tal Michael Haring and Hadas Maor, have teamed up with international artists such as Ai Weiwei, Refik Anadol, El Anatsui, Mohammed Kazem and Sigalit Landau to present the public with digital sculptures. While most were specially designed for the exhibition, the works of Ori Gersht and Sarah Meyohas were adapted from existing projects.
