AR for Events: Austen Camille, zyntroPICS inc. - Farm/ART DTOUR

Objective: To bring artwork to life in an engaging and sustainable way.
Delivery Method: WebAR
Tools used: Zapworks Designer
Tracking Type: Image tracking 

Benefits of AR:

• Enhanced user engagement
• Is true to the sustainability messaging
• Helps communicate a complex story with multiple elements
   

This experience was created for the 2022 Wormfarm Institute’s Farm/Art DTour, a 50-mile driving tour through rural Wisconsin (think corn fields, red barns, cows), with stops along the way featuring art, performance and food.

The experience, created by artist Austen Camille, consisted of a large-scale painting, scaled and designed to look like a billboard. The painting itself depicted a landscape and range of species that were either endangered or extinct in this particular region of Wisconsin. Users saw the transition of the past landscape through to the present, and onward to a potential future landscape. The future described through AR includes polycultural crop systems, a diversity of plant and animal species - a hopeful climate if the right choices are made.
