Land-based Digital Worlding with Augmented Reality (AR) is a series of outreach and connection events led by Dolleen Tisawii'ashii Manning. The main event is a week-long Indigenous AR experimental gathering (August 19-27, 2023) that cultivates and disseminates media arts making skills while fostering supportive Intergenerational Indigenous media arts networks. This program reinterprets and mobilizes the relationship between digital media and land through an Indigenous, decolonizing lens. The gathering launched with Mmaandaawaabi (See a Wondrous Site) Exhibition and an artist panel At Agnes Etherington Art Centre. The exhibition features AR work by Preston Buffalo, Quinn Hopkins, Casey Koyczan & Dallas Fletch Wapash.
Throughout the week, based on an open call, 5 Indigenous contemporary and traditional artists, graduate students, youth, and an Indigenous philosopher, worked collaboratively at a site in the richly biodiverse Frontenac Arch Biosphere.
The gathering concluded with a participant roundtable and AR exhibition at the Agnes Etherington.
