A “living sculpture” on the University’s campus that includes water and vegetation is also a social intervention, prompting viewers to consider the fact that humans are the only living organism with legal and political rights. This project will introduce “augmented reality” technology to the sculpture and study the way it alters viewers’ responses to the sculpture’s propositions. Created by four collaborating artists (Amber Ginsburg, Sara Black, Marc Downie, and Samantha Frost), Untidy Objects was first conceived in 2019, set its first plantings in 2021, and is now introducing a VR component to make the site’s biodiversity more accessible to human visitors with support from the Gray Center, Logan Center, and Neubauer Collegium.
