Passages into a
Weightless Medium
AR work commissioned by Pix Film / Artificial Museum for "Translunar Formations", the first exhibition in the world of geo-mapping augmented reality artwork to actual locations on the Moon.
___________________
This augmented reality artwork created in collaboration with artist Luke Nickel considers flags as symbols —both on earth and the moon—and documents transmissions between the artists over a year of research. 2D imagery, 3D models and AI-collaborative sound depict ghostly dualities: moon/earth, nature/industry, bodies/avatars, digital/real, sculpture/debris.
