Illuminate AR

First Nations peoples have a long history of innovation and adaptation, and have been using technology in various forms for millennia.

In this special Illuminate Adelaide series curated by Dearna Newchurch, see contemporary First Nations artists leveraging the emerging technology of AR as a storytelling platform. Harnessing this technology through a First Nations lens, Augmented Revolution reimagines our device as a powerful tool to express ways of knowing and being.

Embodying their own unique perspectives and styles, the artists explore themes of identity, connection to Country and disruption. Commissioned for Illuminate Adelaide’s City Lights program and brought to life by Monkeystack, Augmented Revolution is a celebration of the richness and complexities of First Nations living culture.
