Mary McDonald’s Animations and Augmented Reality Art for River Revery were exhibited at Wordsfest and Penn’s poems read on Nov 3, 2018 as part of River of Words, the Poet Laureate presents series. The AR (Augmented Reality) art exhibit was on display at Museum London throughout the Festival weekend. See https://marymcdonald.ca/storyteller/.

“The Wanderer Returns Home”, AR by Mary MacDonald, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fnJZ9shkHs&feature=youtu.be. This video by Mary McDonald (marymcdonald.ca) is the first in the Augmented Reality Art series, River Revery. It was shown at the launch of Penn’s book, Local Heroes (Insomniac Press), Museum London, 2018. The River Revery transmedia and AR art exhibit project also formed part of the Augmented Reality presentation at Eldon House in 2018, when Mary created a montage of sound and visual animation by juxtaposing audio clips from the performance, the text and music, with text from Penn’s poems from Local Heroes, intermingled with photography and stop motion animation. This recording features Mary Ashton’s original compositions, music played by Mary Ashton and Panayiotis Giannarapis, and was recorded during their performance of Penn’s play, The Dream Life of Teresa Harris at Masonville Public Library, London, Ontario, March 4, 2017. https://vimeo.com/280812786.
These animations can be seen as an entire playlist on Mary’s channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHv0yQTSRl8sgp9-BS_j81A/featured?view_as=public.
