###### Advanced Projects   |   2019–2021  |   New Course Development

Students imagined and designed an AR experience that blurs the boundary between the digital and physical worlds in Boston. Students were tasked with exploring how AR can address the needs of a community, connect people, and help us live better lives.

**Resist**
re·sist| rəˈzist | verb *[with object]*  
withstand the action or effect of: antibodies help us to resist infection; struggle against someone or something: without giving her time to resist, he dragged her off her feet.  


We’ve seen many acts of awe-inspiring resistance from the protests across our country to Tik-tok’s takedown of Trump’s Tulsa rally. Yet, there is more than what meets the public eye. This unit will explore the power of private resistance.





**Project prompt: What do you resist?**

###### Typography II  |   2019–2020

**Animated Boston Calling & SXSW Posters**  

Students use sound and animation to translate their Boston Calling poster into a 30 second AR (augmented reality) typographic motion piece. 
Designed in conjunction with Katherine Hughes.



To view the AR video overlay, download and install the Artivive App (iOS + Android), then open the app and frame each poster.
