Talk

Saturday 20th, 1.30pm- 2.30pm

Internationally acclaimed artist Trevor Jones returns to the Edinburgh Art Fair with a groundbreaking immersive installation centred around his monumental triptych painting, The Titanium Angel.

Since his last appearance at the fair in 2017, Trevor has become one of the world’s most innovative and successful artists at the intersection of fine art and emerging technology. His work has been exhibited globally, including at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and MOCO Museum in London, Barcelona and Amsterdam. He has collaborated with major cultural figures such as Ice Cube, Good Charlotte, and legendary DJs Sasha, BT, and Don Diablo. Trevor is also the creator of the renowned Castle Party event, held at Stirling Castle and Château de Vallery in France, which brought together the global art and Web3 community and raised over £140,000 for the cancer support charity Maggie’s through art auctions and community-driven fundraising.

At EAF2025, Trevor will unveil a new evolution of The Titanium Angel as a fully immersive art experience. Originally a large-scale triptych painting, the work now incorporates augmented reality, interactive digital animation, and immersive projection to draw visitors into its richly detailed, steampunk-inspired world known as The Engine.

Visitors will be invited to:

• Stand in front of the physical painting, while a large screen display transforms their likeness into part of the painting’s surreal narrative in real time.

• Scan the artwork with their phone and the Artivive app to trigger the full animated short film using AR.

• Experience the animated version of the painting on loop via a second screen for a cinematic encounter.

This hybrid artwork bridges traditional oil painting with cutting-edge technology, storytelling, and viewer participation, hallmarks of Trevor’s practice. The short animation of The Titanium Angel is also garnering acclaim in the film world having been officially selected for four international film festivals to date:

• New York Short Animation Festival

• Palm Springs Animation Festival

• Chichester International Film Festival

• Caorle Independent Film Festival (Italy)

Trevor Jones’ immersive installation is a headline attraction for EAF2025, marking a celebrated return to the fair where his journey into tech-integrated art first began. In 2012, he debuted his pioneering QR code paintings at EAF, followed by his early exploration of augmented reality in 2013. This is a rare opportunity to experience the fusion of art and innovation from one of the true pioneers of the global digital art movement.
