Juneteenth Reality Hack
$5,000 in Prizes for Winning Teams
June 14-16th 2024 | Oakland, California
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.
Our Mission
To develop and inspire the next generation of black creative technologists to enter the XR industry without learning to code or buying expensive gadgets.
Our Vision
To keep redlining out of the metaverse and to desegregate spatial computing. We do this by offering artists, designers, and professionals simple, mobile friendly hacks to create dynamic augmented reality art experiences and address the digital divide for artists. All they’ll need is mobile phone or a tablet.
