Timeless

Timeless is a short video that through AR, explores the intersection of the digital and physical within the space of The Walks in Loughrea, with its years of histories and stories, projecting digitally a story of the passing of time and grief and how these two worlds now collide and intertwine in a way that would once never have been imagined. We grieve and remember collectively. This place which marks the medieval boundary, the space between then and now, holds the memories that become our measure of time, and yet then become timeless themselves. 

Location:  The Walks, Loughrea Co.Galway

about Luci:

I am a visual artist working primarily in social and participatory arts practice. Working with video, audio, written and verbal testimony, I investigate layers and concepts of time through memory, place, identity, grief, and death. I explore the relationship between technology and nature, and the formation of identity through death and digital media, and how these challenge and reshape concepts of personhood. I am experimenting with collaborative and immersive technologies, in order to reflect on these questions and using them to consider the possibility of temporarily stopping time in order to reflect on life and self. I also like to make little wooden robots from recycled off cuts, vintage advertising blocks, nuts, bolts and springs!

3. Once you would have stood in this point and been on the outside, unable to see in. Now you are part of the past, the present and the future in this moment and in this space.

4. Intertwining cultures and histories.
