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.
