Abstract
The Hekateris Dance is a playful interactive Augmented Reality Artwork to prompt audiences to imagine how humans may evolve in the distant future as we are impacted by climate change. Artist Charlotte Gould uses speculative fictioning in her artwork to develop 3D animated future beings using Augmented Reality. Having downloaded the Adobe Aero Application, and scanning a QR code, dancing avatars can be viewed through a mobile phone and participants can join in to see each other dancing with the characters. While the avatars dance in a contemporary style, the artwork references the Hekateris dance, borrowed from Greek mythology as a celebration of nature. The project draws on the past and present, through mythology and nature, to imagine what we may be in the process of becoming for survival on a planet impacted by climate crisis. The artwork aims to celebrate the natural world beyond the human and to foster hope through discussion on tangible actions that can contribute to a solution to reduce global warming.
