"Many humans no longer experience the physical wit

"Many humans no longer experience the physical without the digital. I am interested in using mobile AR projects – projects experienced with cell phones or tablets and not headsets – to interrupt the norms that people have developed,” says US artist Meredith Drum, the Art Prospect Residency Fellow 2022 at Structura Gallery, Bulgaria (@structuragallery)

Censorship and artistic freedom, contested monuments in the US and post-Soviet countries, how art projects can contribute to socio-political issues, how innovative virtual AR art practices can be used to help us think about the physical world in relation to the digital - these and other wide-ranging issues are discussed by Meredith in the illuminating and nuanced interview conducted by Christine Foteva, Design/Art History MA candidate at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland.
