JonMar shares the possibilities of Augmented Reality, a visual art form that blends art and technology. In his deeply poignant and artistic talk, he shares the magic of augmented reality through his beautiful and provocative art.
Jonmar discovered his love of the arts at age three, his passion for programming at twelve, and the bliss of songwriting at twenty-four. These became the pillars of his ultimate passion — storytelling. Now with the advent of augmented reality, his talents have found a unified storytelling expression, a singularity of sight and sound.

Jonmar’s augmented reality empowered artwork features immersive three dimensional experiences that pierce the veil of this world and fill one’s heart with child-like wonder. Hailed as magical by art critics across Los Angeles, Billboard magazine agrees, further describing Jonmar’s work as “Harry Potter-type magic.”

He worked on a special innovation team at Nike World Headquarters for six years and he founded Savageapps, an iOS development company, where four of his apps reached #1 globally. His unique approach to both development and design has been featured by Apple, Rolling Stone, and Guitar World magazines.
