Visitors to Ars Electronica Garden are invited to take a seat at a domestic table where, by wearing a head-mounted Augmented Reality display, they encounter a volumetric representation of an indigenous woman seated opposite, who speaks out of her culture that has refined collective endeavour and relational psychology. She addresses us directly to provoke consideration of what might constitute solid foundations for a healthy, mutually beneficial, and ongoing relationship between people from diverse cultural backgrounds. In a site that references the household and the commons, visitors are called on to question their relationships with people and place. Their responses can be recorded and relayed to the original subjects who are kept safe in the comfort of their own time and space.
