June What?
Juneteenth Reality Hack is a community-run augmented reality (AR) art hackathon co-hosted by Black Terminus AR and vision-aligned art, tech, and culture organizations.
Analogue and digital visual artists collaborate, create, and compete for $5K in prizes. From June 14-16th, we will convene teams of artists, strategists, and technologists to collaborate, design, and prototype art-based AR projects as part of an ongoing effort to bring the AR Museum for the People to life.
The AR Museum for the People is our vision for an open-air augmented reality museum that brings analogue artists together with digital artists to create a new dimension of art.
