Augmented Reality: Ground Waters

​

Combining imagery and video from my Ground Waters series, I've created an interactive, multimedia art experience. My still photographs come alive as colorful crystals grow and overtake the environment through a smart device. An augmented reality app triggers video and sound, allowing viewers to move closer or further away from the print, while the video continues to play.

For my prints, I construct scale models of urban spaces, flood the tiny ecosystem with a crystal solution, and record the ephemeral deterioration with photography and video. As time passes, the growing crystals engulf the structures, transforming them into otherworldly scenes. The AR technology is a simple way to integrate the time-based element into my photographic work.
