Procession is one of the first fine-art AR projects based on a realized sculpture to combine animation, collage and archival footage into an explorative interactive soundscape.

It presents our near future: a period of global unrest and environmental destruction, spurred by raging flood waters and massive wildfires. Humanity is faced with a choice: living in ignorance or uniting to preserve what’s left of our planet.

Procession debuted at Tribeca Film Festival, where attendees were able to experience a Dustin Yellin sculpture in their environment and bring it to life by walking around and inside it, revealing hundreds of narratives within the piece.

Through the accessibility of art, Procession aims to unite people to take action in preserving our natural environment.

Dustin’s work is known for the layering of cutouts glued in collages on panes of glass. The dense layering creates an overwhelming amount of detail that draws the viewer in.

For Procession, we saw AR as an opportunity to the viewer to occupy and understand each layer of Dustin’s piece.
