Intro

Weirdcore x Aphex Twin: Crack Feature

Unity, ARKit, Blender, Substance Painter, Z-Brush
Weirdcore’s uncanny aesthetic is not for the faint of heart. For Crack Magazine’s 173rd issue, the publication collaborated with @weirdcoretv — the anonymous visual artist best known for Aphex Twin’s live A/V tour visuals — to produce a series of exclusive augmented reality artworks. The project extends Weirdcore’s distorted visual language into three dimensions, with bespoke 3D assets and a custom-built Unity AR experience developed for the Crack XR app. Activated through the printed magazine, the imagery breaks free from the page and occupies physical space, blurring the boundaries between editorial, digital, and spatial media.
