An Augmented Reality work from leading UK artist Shezad Dawood collaborating with award-winning writer Daisy Hildyard.

Starting by the Beachcomber Cafe, and weaving together science, storytelling, myth and local knowledge, the work, accessed via QR codes on fixed interpretation at three sites along Scarborough’s seafront, will explore the future of UK marine and coastal environments.

Developed by Wild Eye in collaboration with scientists and conservationists as well as local community groups, Dawood and Hildyard’s work will aim to strengthen understanding of the effects of climate change while raising awareness of the importance of marine conservation efforts.

By scanning the QR codes on a digital device at these three locations people will be able to glimpse speculative, hybridised future species of marine life emerging into their Scarborough surroundings. In the twilight and dark these animations will take on a bio luminescent quality.
