Apparitions & Pioneer AR ‘Apparitions AR‘ is augmented reality art revealing historic Victorian landmarks that are demolished
https://linktr.ee/lucianahaill

Apparitions is an augmented reality artwork triggering St Leonards Pier, the Memorial Clocktower and Edwardian beach huts in full size and tagged to their original locations for explorations using augmented reality. Pioneer is the new app that triggers the Daddy long legs train that ran through the sea on rails in Brighton between 1896-1901 - www.daddylonglegs.site

From May25th 2024 I hosted a public event for 'Seeing The Swan Inn' (bombed in 1944) as a life-size experience, we began in Barnaby's Lounge at midday for a heritage projected talk. Then we walked to see it on it’s original site using smartphones to trigger artwork - after a heritage talk and walk from the town centre. I’ve hosted 5 talks this year in hastings where we triggered the Memorial Clocktower together and St Leonards long lost pier - digital art making history talk again

Join Luciana Haill for a really informative and very visually detailed projected talk about Hastings's lost landmark The Prince Albert Memorial Clocktower (demolished 1973 after 111 years) and The Swan Hotel in the old town high street, bombed on May 23rd 1943. Using rich imagery and historic facts you will gain an insight into these places, and see how digital art has a place in helping cost-effectively preserve legacy. The Hotel in the old town has been created by artist Andrea Paduano and will be guided by Luciana Haill on the tour.

Both places can be seen on your smartphones using free techniques and apps, but it is not essential to use one to take part.

Using my augmented reality app for smartphones called 'Apparitions AR' it is possible to trigger a lifesize version of our local pier (1892-1951) using the GPS to detect the original location. The Music Hall stood close to the promenade which was a great feature as opposed to Hastings pIer where the pavilion was at the further seaward end.

St Leonards pier was 960 ft long, and from the 1920s was owned by an American Rinkeries company where roller skating to music and roller hockey were very popular activities in the structure that can be seen at the far end. Scans of vintage postcards were collaged together to create a textured wrap with the actual windows and signage from St Leonards 'Palace Pier' in this era.
In this evening excursion, the railings can be clearly identified and the POV is moving through the music hall where the pixels do not have any more information. The music was playing live in earphones at the time and was recorded using iPhone RecordIt app.

a large LCD screen would suit for laptop presentations or I have a small projector if there is a screen or wall suitable . St Leonards ideally or Hastings, accessible too. Thanks

Hand held POV inside my augmented reality artwork viewing the long ago demolished St Leonards pier today - it's lifesize 960ft long, made from collages of all the vintage postcards I bought is a little tricky to 'land' in AR on a cold day. Using my free Apparitions app to trigger it on its original location, you can visit the pier and see it from the pavement near The Royal Victoria Hotel.

Augmented reality souvenir experienced on a smart phone

Pioneer was a sea-faring train that travelled from Kemptown to rottingdean between 1896-1901, and now it’s also a record - plus you will get a code to unlock an augmented reality Technics 1210 record player that appears anywhere you want in your room, playing Pioneer ! This is a video captured through an Android phone. Apple phones get a 2D player that saves the track in a library. WWw.daddylonglegs.site

Did you miss me ? Turn the sound up for this little clip !

The Victorian greenhouses inside Alexandra park have a plant sale at weekends. Prince Albert got quite nostalgic when we visited today as he resided there from 1973- 1991 #bemorealbert #greenhouse #costoflivingcrisis

Prince Albert struggles to get a ticket to ride the East Cliff funicular in hastings. He’s been around since 1862, the year after his human version died . In the last 49 years he’s had to live rough in a dilapidated greenhouse and a garage - we like to hang out on sunny days #gentrification #bemoreAlbert #Hastings #augmentedreality

The statue was saved from scrap by Edith Skelton who bought it for £50. Originally it was facing south on The Memorial clocktower the centre piece of Hastings from 1862-1973 when it was demolished. #Hastings #volumetriccapture #digitalArt #augementedreality #mixedreality

Join Prince Albert and I @weareuglyduck on Saturday 24.09.22 from 2pm in an exhibition of augmented reality art and lost heritage by @apparitions_art #augmentedrealityart #volumetriccapture #polycam

Apparitions : Artforms of past, present and future blend together

Apparitions is a new augmented reality art project that reveals the ghosts of historic lost landmarks in Hastings ( The Memorial clocktower), St Leonards (the pier) and Bexhill ( beach huts ) evoking a hauntology that can be described as a “nostalgia for lost futures” as described by Mark Fisher.

Neither present, nor absent, neither dead nor alive. It is about the disruption of linear time and space, as past, present and future blend together.

A visit to the concrete ‘Sound Mirrors’ in Denge Kent inspired me to combine my enquiry into emerging virtual digital techniques with obsolete & lost heritage as I am an artist fascinated by the relationship of history, new technologies, memory & dreams. These spectacular remnants of a dead-end technology from WWI would tell more of a story if combined with augmented reality.

Funded by a 'Grantium' from The Arts Council of England (focussing on my hometown of Hastings & St Leonards) I designed and produced an ‘augmented reality’ (AR) application called ‘Apparitions’. It triggers spectral artworks - 3d models with anachronistic soundscapes when viewing special vintage postcards of the sites using smartphone cameras. Digitally Elevating traditional souvenirs of obsolete sites into steganographic missives, described by Mark Fisher's as ‘hauntological,’ embedding the past into the future so it maybe interrogated as a simulation and a simulacrum.
