Quentin VerCetty: Missing Black Technofossils Here – Self-Guided Tour

As part of the exhibition Terms of Use, Quentin VerCetty and the PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art invite you to take part in the Missing Black Technofossils Here augmented reality (AR) walking tour.

Missing Black Technofossils Here (2020-2023) addresses the lack of representation of people of African descent in the public sphere by revisiting select regional public spaces and monuments through an AR experience. Users can rediscover narratives that have been excluded from history and digitally disrupt, decolonize, and insert their own speculative landmarks in public space. These landmarks can subsequently be documented and preserved forever in digital form, either on the users’ devices (which become technofossils of their own) or on the World Wide Web.

In this Montréal iteration, Missing Black Technofossils Here will feature six historical sites, where you will be able to take pictures and videos to add an Ancestral Technofossil to any chosen public space.
