Join artists Alice Yuan Zhang & Alexander Kaye for a guided online walkthrough of their new project, Requiem for Lost Plants, commissioned by Creamcake & NAVEL as part of 3hd Festival. This walkthrough will be facilitated by artist and collaborator Kenny Zhao. From the colonization of Tongva, Chumash, and Kizh land to the ongoing urbanization of Los Angeles, whole ecological communities have been uprooted without acknowledgement. Requiem for Lost Plants calls for reversing death. Artists Alice Yuan Zhang and Alexander Kaye digitally resurrect diminishing plant elders to share their stories for a global public through an immersive online environment, and for locals through site-specific augmented reality filters. Requiem For Lost Plants is available to experience online as an immersive web environment at tinyurl.com/RequiemForLostPlants, and locally through site-specific AR installations at tinyurl.com/Requiem-Map.
