AR inuksuk made using open source leg godt blocks developed by the Institute for Speculative Media, a cultural collaboration between new media artist Nathan Shafer, students in the Anchorage School District and Out North Contemporary Art House as part of the Augmented Inuksuit Project.


Inuksuit (ee-nook-sweet) are stone landmarks made by the Inuit and Inupiaq peoples of the Circumpolar Arctic.  This AR structure should stand at around 7’ high.

The augmentation is inspired by the crystal coffin of Mao displayed in Mausoleum of Mao Zedong on Tiananmen Square since 1977, a year after his death. In the twenty first century, while China has been transforming itself into a modern society in many ways, and gaining more influences economically and politically around the globe, Mao’s crystal coffin, the immortal-looking shell, remains exist as a symbol of authoritarian ruling system.

The Funeral of the Earth is an experience of our inner landscape, confronting our desires and fears.

Closed in our thoughts, in the “in between“, between public and private spaces. The work refers to the setting of the exhibition intimately hand drawn images are encapsulated in a virtual box, and then exhibited in a public landscape.

Will to power challenges our way of thinking about reality by creating an unseen monument that exists in digital space that cannot be seen without the aid of a system. The enormous scale of the work is in direct correlation to the idea that we are able to feel the presence of something enormous, something that looms over us, constantly present, and connected with us beyond our normal perceptions.

Pool Hopping on the Island of the Bull, transform different locations tied to the financial crisis into a sea of fire with augmented reality. The burning houses were made in reaction to the bank's handling of foreclosures during the finical crisis. They burn endlessly, acting as a visual scar inflicted on communities across america.

Skywrite AR creates sky written messages in virtual airplane trails for the thoughts and concerns of individuals and citizens. Normally out of the financial reach for ordinary folks, this grand scale text now becomes available to the contemplative computer poet, the instant messenger or the protester addressing the need for political change. Sketching vapor phrases hundreds of feet or meters above the cell phone viewer, sentences stretch for half a mile (800+ meters) and can be seen by others from afar.

On the Fold is a collection of photographs from the artists library that have been mapped onto an eight sided polygonal form. These images reference particular memories in time that have been solidified and re-enforced by the images themselves. The seven copies of the object create a ring that can be viewed from many perspectives and even stepped into.

CS compound AL_D13 is a derivative of various techniques like 3D animation and 3D scanning.  It is the next piece in a series of digital and physical objects being produced, which discuss the unconscious and how it affects ones perception of self.  The sculpture exists physically as well CS compound AL_D13 begins to question the ways we perceive objects and question their actual existence both physical and digital.

The poet sensing what we cannot, floats above our world. This poet is Flavio Ermini.

The Selim in Michigan piece is the first step into a much larger scale project.  The Middle East holds many unbelievable structures that many people never get to see let alone view in real life.  The idea behind this project is to incorporate the many amazing things around the world into a common environment, where you don’t just see a picture, but go inside the picture and experience it just as if you were thousands of miles away.

"Shades of Absence: Outside Inside" focuses on artists who have faced threats of arrest or violence. Placed in the Giardini main concourse, in this augmented reality (AR) artwork gold silhouettes of artists' faces hover in a virtual pavilion that is formed by terms of transgression used to justify censorship. Some are art world insiders and international stars, others are known only within their own circles. The faces are only a tiny fraction of the many artists worldwide who face arrest or physical violence and are anonymized to represent the many censored artists who do not enjoy widespread public support for their cases.
