Holliday R. Horton
3D Artist, Curator & Instructor
Welcome to my portfolio! I am a SoCal Artist, Curator, and Instructor passionate about creating immersive experiences with augmented reality. I received a BA in Visual Arts - Studio (3D Film & Animation) from UCSD.
I went on to have an exciting and rewarding career as a 3D Animator and Art Director in video games and interactive media - shipping 12+ AAA video games and grossing $150+ million for brands.
AR/VR PROJECTS
I love to challenge the boundaries of art and technology to create work that has never been seen before. From virtual reality installations to interactive sculptures in mixed reality, I create unique visual experiences that engage audiences in new and unexpected ways.
I have worked with some of the world's leading museums and brands, such as Sony, Panasonic, NASA/JPL, LACMA, and Snapchat, creating innovative projects reaching over 700 million people worldwide.
HYPNAGOGIA AR Collection
Adobe Aero Kinetic Sculptures
The HYPNAGOGIA AR collection features animated kinetic works exploring layered movement using math. The kinetic sculptures are sculpted in virtual reality, then animated and displayed using the augmented reality app Adobe Aero.
From six feet to twelve stories high, the animated works are planted virtually on the ground using augmented reality technology on a smartphone.

Refracting Realities is a collection of large-scale augmented reality sculptures exploring the mesmerizing beauty of π. The sculptures were created using advanced animation techniques in Blender using sine wave functions and Lens Studio. Sine waves are the secret to how all things move in the universe.
Official Snap AR Creator
I was commissioned to create an augmented reality art installation in collaboration with Judy Baca and LACMA at the site of The Great Wall of Los Angeles. It is part of the Monumental Perspectives LACMA x SnapAR collection.
I enjoy designing Lenses that explore fantasy fashion, wearable art, and interactive kinetic sculptures with real-world physics and VFX that have reached 700 million on Snapchat.
