AUGMENTED REALITY FOR DECOLONIZATION
In February 2022 Lia Tarachansky will be leading an eight-week workshop on the political uses and potential uses of Augmented Reality in decolonization in Israel/Palestine. The workshop is organized by Zochrot, an Israeli organization working on teaching the Nakba and on decolonization through a variety of creative and activist means.
All who are interested in participating are invited to contact Tarachansky for further details.
Augmented Reality is a new media that makes possible the overlay of virtual elements onto the physical reality via smart phones. Using the phone’s camera, AR can add data, 2D images, animation, or 3D objects, augmenting the view of the real world with endless virtual possibilities. Examples include everything from face masks to overlays of historic monuments no longer present in the real landscape, to political interventions with significant locations.
