A Piece of Systems Ecology
An Augmented Reality installation that rocks
The installation called “A Piece of Systems Ecology” is a personal exploration of the natural elements I encountered while strolling through Santa Barbara, enriched by conversations with NCEAS researchers Ben Halpern, Mona Farnisa, Justin Kadi, Marisa Morse, Erica Nielsen, Camila Poulsen Vargas and Melissa Chapman.
The piece features an animated 3D sculpture created from scanned elements of the local landscape. Visitors might interact by using QR codes printed on stones collected from the area and discover connected stories. Additionally, the soundscape reflects fragments of the topics of the interviews.
