Dirigibles of Denali is an augmented reality app/interactive print project reimagining three domed cities that were planned, but never built in Alaska: Seward’s Success, Denali City and Arctic Town. All three domed cities will be virtually constructed on location in Alaska, using mobile augmented reality technology (overlaying virtual information on the real world), creating site-specific, digitally tangible environments using the original historic city plans. In situ, high-resolution images of these three pieces of site-specific augmented reality and a collected anthology of commissioned alternate history stories written by contemporary Alaskan authors will form the basis of the interactive book and museum show, where the works can be activated using target-based augmented reality.

Pratt Museum has been a cornerstone of Homer and Kachemak Bay for fifty years. What might the next half-century hold? What will Kachemak Bay look like, and what might the museum seek to collect? A combination of “future visions” and samples from private collections from the region will explore the future of both the community and the museum on its centennial of 2068.

This program is supported in part by a Grant-In-Aid from the Alaska State Museum, Alaska State Council on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and City of Homer.
