Beschreibung: As developments in information technology have transformed the contemporary intermedia environment, this has also, crucially, precipitated changes to how we receive and assimilate information. No longer are we limited to printed mediums or broadcast television for the majority of our information; today, our multidimensional network of information sources has democratised many aspects of human communication through reduced barriers to entry, and thereby expanded the breadth of information available to each person.

In reconceptualising the monument as a dynamic multisensory experience in which syncretic learning is made possible through synaesthesia, these augmented reality monuments provide the opportunity to create richer learning experiences that are more synergistic with the means with which we have grown accustomed to receiving our information in an age of hyperawareness.

Abstract:As developments in information technology have transformed the contemporary intermedia environment, this has also, crucially, precipitated changes to how we receive and assimilate information. No longer are we limited to printed mediums or broadcast television for the majority of our information; today, our multidimensional network of information sources has democratised many aspects of human communication through reduced barriers to entry, and thereby expanded the breadth of information available to each person. These changes present both the imperative that we update our public monuments to match the requirements of an evolved audience, as well as the opportunity to do so in more innovative and effective ways.This paper examines how the use of augmented reality in Judy Baca?s contribution to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art?s Monumental Perspectives (2021- ongoing) project enhances the experience of the monument both in terms of how we interact with and receive our public histories and in activist artists? ability to achieve their political objectives. In reconceptualising the monument as a dynamic multisensory experience in which syncretic learning is made possible through synaesthesia, these augmented reality monuments provide the opportunity to create richer learning experiences that are more synergistic with the means with which we have grown accustomed to receiving our information in an age of hyperawareness.
