From digital billboards to locative apps, the augmentation of space is no longer science fiction, but fact. The artists in this panel see the potential in these developments as sites for a new kind of democratic placemaking rooted in shared history, ecology, and community. The artists\\\/researchers in this panel will each discuss projects that use emerging digital technologies to explore sites of historic, cultural, and ecological significance. Moreover, moving beyond (or below) nationalistic or corporate-driven narratives, the artists on this panel mine cultural history and activate communities around the tragedies and triumphs of the past as well as the possibilities of the future. In each case, community stakeholders are invited to participate in novel modes of discovery of place, of history, and of each other. The works, which integrate live performance, interactivity, and digital spectacle also represent a constellation of media and voice. Artists will each discuss the affordances of their media (projection mapping, augmented reality), their sites of inspiration, as well as their processes of community engagement and participation.&lt;\\\/span&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\",\"Include description in output citation\":0,\"Origin\":\"Manual\"},\"facultyid\":\"C70303290\",\"status\":[{\"id\":13334,\"status\":\"Accepted\",\"term\":\"Summer\",\"year\":2025,\"termid\":\"2024\\\/05\",\"listingorder\":4,\"completionorder\":4}],\"userid\":\"C70303290\",\"attachments\":[],\"coauthors_list\":[\"Minka T Stoyanova\",\"Naomi R.

Most frequently, media in this landscape is aimed at commerce\\\/marketing. However, contemporary technology is increasingly being used to create affective, embodied, and\\\/or meditative experiences that are not primarily commercial in nature. The novelty of this project is in working with local culture bearers and community stakeholders to inject site-specific cultural and historical narratives in the urban landscape. Currently focused on the Trem\\u00e9 neighborhood of New Orleans, LA, this project uses contemporary technology to draw attention to and to celebrate the many contributions of the historic residents of the oldest black neighborhood in the United States. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Moreover, by working directly with community stakeholders in the curation and development of these media outcomes, this project intends to outline a model for centering the voices and narratives of underrepresented groups in any urban environment. Finally, these works are part of a larger research project towards the creation of a strong, location-based augmented reality mobile application that also allows individuals to experientially discover the history of a place. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In this work-in-progress artist talk, I will discuss the successes and challenges of the installations created to date \\u2013 covering both the technical and the social components of the project. I will also discuss intended plans for both the media installations and the augmented reality component \\u2013 discussing my work with the Google\\u2019s MediaPipe as well as Google\\u2019s global localization system.\",\"Include description in output
