SKY GUARDIAN - A Web based AR Experience for 'Indigenous Futurism"
Idea & Concept
This project is for 8th Wall 's 'Time Capsule Challenge', asking for participants a web based AR experience around the concept of time travel.
My idea was about a movement called "Indigenous Futurism", which is an artistic exploration for a fictional future, similar to Afrofuturism.
The movement challenges colonial narratives and presents a reimagined future where Indigenous culture and traditions are not only preserved but are central to humanity's progress. It provides a platform for artists to envision a future shaped highlighting themes of resilience, resistance, sovereignty, and sustainability.
My concept was a flying eagle robot, named Sky Guardian - with the help of generative AI. The eagle is a powerful symbol in many Indigenous cultures across North America, often associated with vision, strength, and freedom. Integrating this symbolism with the futuristic concept of a robot presented a unique opportunity to bridge traditional values with modern innovation.
And then by utilizing 8th Wall's simple to use platform, I've turned this concept into a web based AR experience.
