Angels for AR

3D Model

“Using parts of angelic figures and machinery, ‘Angels for AR’ examines the role of supernatural and technological messengers between the terrestrial and the other. These forms are accessible via mobile device...‘Angels for AR’ combines technological, biological, and mythical elements to produce imagery that exists between the mythological and scientific. These elements are placed in rural Oklahoma, in an effort to examine the relationship between desire to heal the environment, create helpful technology, and [address] those technologies’ shortcomings."
