An interactive installation featuring integrated sculptural and digital artwork celebrating the artistic and civic achievements of children and youth.
Place pins orbit around a large central place pin under the York Boulevard bridge. Each satellite pin marks the coordinates for an augmented reality portal, housing kids’ artistic visions.
Neighbourhood “story boxes” are accessed via a smartphone app developed in partnership with a team at McMaster University.
The central place pin anchors a tactile and virtual mapping activity, encouraging guests to share their own stories and dreams.
As part of CKA’s 3 year “glocal” initiative, #HereWeArt is the first of several arts-and-technology oriented programs, set to culminate in 2020 with an international focus on inclusion and belonging.
