Apparitions is a new augmented reality app and art project that reveals the ghosts of historic lost landmarks – for example, the Albert Memorial Clock Tower and St. Leonards Pier – evoking a “nostalgia for lost futures”. Artist Luciana Haill will demonstrate how AR and digital new media art have the ability to preserve the architecture and social memory beyond a site’s physical demise.
