Bridging the Divide: Creating an accessible transparent AR display
Monika Keenan · Electronic workshops in computing · 2023
Asynchronous Signal Transmutation (AST) is the latest iteration of thePost-Bits Human Universe (PBHU), a continually updated interdisciplinary project.This iteration focuses on bridging human artists, audiences, hackers, and developers with artificial intelligence and beings (Bits), exploring the complexity and poetry of relations in diverse spatial-temporal worlds, and granting the term "world" in the Anthropocene and post-Anthropocene a new implication and value in revolution to the current consensus of "world".Building upon existing philosophical frameworks of 'worldlessness' the authors propose an artistic and experimental approach to examining the positive worldlessness in both the Anthropocene and post-Anthropocene through a 24/7 structured space system where the artwork is living in-real-time as a 'worldless' universe that parallels, overlaps, and transmutes between physical and electronic worlds on different space-time dimensions.Responding to those well-encapsulated art projects that exclusively present their work during a specific time and location, AST thus presents a positive instance of the nature and potential of worldlessness from an ontological, phenomenological, and political standpoint.
