Often tech is thought of as an artificial force that goes against the environment, and pushes people away from the natural world. Sometimes, that is true. But that’s not always the case. I wanted to make an artwork that brings tech and the environment together and so the Majestic Beasties were born. They are part of a series of creatures that exist through site specific Augmented Reality. As life-sized, animated 3D models who live inside a digital world and are only visible through your smart device, their lives are dependent upon technology. But, they are also dependent on the environment, as they are geographically pinned to specific GPS coordinates at the park, and therefore can only exist on your device when you are outside, near their natural habitat, somewhere  on the trail at Saddle Brook Park.
