Monumental Gestures - Arlington Edition Live now!!!!
Monumental Gestures is an augmented reality experience that, starting on November 15, 2023, will allow you to discover spots around the town of Arlington where environmental harm—beginning with measurable gas leaks—has been reported to local authorities.
Through the Augmented Reality platform Hoverlay, you will be offered a guided audio experience (created by myself and Jimena Bermejo) to help you act as a temporary monument to what has happened at each location. And eventually, you will be able to suggest future locations for the project.
Follow the link here on your phone to experience the project. Note that you will be prompted to download the (free) Hoverlay app. Headphones are strongly recommended. https://hoverlay.io/monumentalgestures
This project is supported by a grant from the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Monumental Gestures has also received in-kind support from Hoverlay.
