THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN

In this project the artists used augmented reality to overlay the user’s surroundings with signage posing questions about past and present climatic conditions. Why is the sky so blue? Has it always rained? These signs call attention to the small changes in the climate already occurring all around us, inviting playful responses.

How to use:

  • On your phone go to press Start AR
  • Pick a sign from the list. To activate the AR.
  • Point the camera to the ground for the phone to detect a surface. Adjust size, angle, and placement using two fingers.
  • Tap the screen and take pictures or videos.
  • Post pictures or videos on Instagram or Twitter, tagging them @thisisnotagoodsign_ #notagoodsign
