Chris Cuffaro Greatest Hits

AN AR+artists™ APP *powered by iSPARX™

Welcome to the Chris Cuffaro Greatest Hits app! This app is in many ways the second piece of the exhibition, an ever-evolving entity that compliments each image and the moments that created it. This resource will allow you to step into the photograph and inhabit my shoes for a truly unique behind the music experience. As the exhibition travels and the photographs are changed, the iPad app will also evolve to reflect such alterations.  

Over time, viewers will be able to access excerpts from my personal journal or see postcards and letters from some of the musical greats to elevate a normally two-dimensional experience. Video interviews, proof sheets and newspaper articles will hopefully create a bridge between the artist’s eye and the eye of the spectator. 

We hope this app proves to be helpful, informative and perhaps most importantly, fun. If you would like to reach out, share your thoughts or have any questions, feel free to contact info@cuffarophoto.com.
