To say that it colored my time at the residency would be a significant understatement. It redrew the lines, then colored outside of them.&nbsp;It&#8217;s not surprising&nbsp;that when it came time to create my final residency project, I found that I couldn\u2019t think about anything other than the unfurling catastrophes around me. Rather than sticking to the plan that I had been developing&nbsp;for weeks, I decided to follow my heart and make a piece about the current situation,&nbsp;how COVID-19 ripped open pre-existing schisms in the&nbsp;United States&#8217; systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n     .quarters {\n      display: inline;\n      width: 23%;\n      margin: 1%;\n      float: left;\n      text-align: center;\n    }\n\n\n     .thirds {\n    display: inline;\n      width: 31%;\n      margin: 1%;\n      float: left;\n      text-align: center;\n    }\n\n\n    \/* Clear floats after the columns *\/\n    .row:after {\n      content: \"\";\n      display: table;\n      clear: both;\n    }\n\n<\/style>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1-1024x100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1-1024x100.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1-300x29.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1-768x75.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1-1536x150.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1-900x88.png 900w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/visual-design-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2523\" height=\"2240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2.jpg\" alt=\"Eglantine Roses\" class=\"wp-image-7547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2.jpg 2523w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2-1024x909.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2-768x682.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2-1536x1364.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2-2048x1818.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/plant-planning2-900x799.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2523px) 100vw, 2523px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"inset-lg\">Each plant carries a specific message. Eglantine roses are a European variety that were spread around the world by colonialists. Unfortunately, it\u2019s a highly invasive species and once planted it begins to take over whatever area surrounds it, suffocating indigenous plants and&nbsp;irrevocably changing native landscapes. It is currently illegal to sell in most of the world, but still remains available for purchase in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images

class=\"inset-lg\">Audio is an incredibly important interactive element. Since I&#8217;m a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.boneandbell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">musician<\/a>, I felt quite lucky that Aero added audio functionality right before my final project was due.&nbsp;I created the composition&nbsp;using a combination of field recordings, piano, and my voice. The foundation for the entire piece is a field record of an actual&nbsp;hospital lobby&nbsp;(Courtesy of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/tim.kahn\/sounds\/50858\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Kahn<\/a>. )&nbsp;The main percussive element is a heart rate monitor. I played the piano and sang the choral elements. When you tap the lungs, they play&nbsp;a recording of me breathing.&nbsp;The candles have a proximity sensor that plays individual choral tones, creating a &#8220;candle choir&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"1438\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1438;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Covid-Final.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"inset-lg\">When the pandemic hit, I began searching for ways that I could help. I believe deeply in the cathartic power of art, so I attempted to create a medicine of sorts, an experiential elixir. It\u2019s a place to deeply feel and consider how and why we ended up here. Sometimes, catastrophe leads to the sort of fundamental change that wouldn&#8217;t have been possible otherwise. It&#8217;s my hope that we can take this opportunity to build a more equitable world where everyone is treated fairly despite the color of their skin or economic status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"inset-lg\">Public spaces like churches, community organizations, and schools are typically places where people find support during emotionally challenging events, but in the midst of a pandemic, these aren&#8217;t available.&nbsp; I hope that this piece can act as an &#8220;anywhere altar&#8221; in their absence. People can experience it wherever they are, whenever they need it. I shot this video in my own accessible space, my backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"inset-lg\">Above all, this piece reflects&nbsp;this&nbsp;exact moment. It&#8217;s not only a snapshot of the global pandemic, but also of the emerging AR medium and the software used to create it.&nbsp; I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"inset-lg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/agjj2e6z9am24qj\/Covid19-AR-Elixir.real?dl=0\">EXPERIENCE<\/a> it yourself.  |  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dunawaysmith.com\/site\/2020\/06\/26\/adobe-aero-tutorial\/\">LEARN<\/a> how I made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two days after I was accepted into the Adobe Augmented Reality Residency, the COVID-19 quarantine began.
