Man’s Inhumanity To Man: The 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre
2024
SXSW 2025 XR EXPERIENCE NOMINEE
SXSW 2025 XR EXPERIENCE NOMINEE
Junior Game Designer, 3D Artist and Graphic Designer on SXSW-nominated educational AR experience 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre, a collaboration between the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and award-winning Emblematic Group’s director Nonny de la Peña, aka the “Godmother of Virtual Reality.”
For three days in September of 1906 in Atlanta, Georgia, a white mob - incited by the race-baiting of politicians and local newspapers - violently attacked the black community across the city. Using volumetric performances, hand-drawn Quill image and AI animations, this augmented reality project allows audiences to follow writer and editor Jesse Max Barber's as he tries to tell the world this buried truth.
In my creation of promotional graphics and both 2D and 3D assets for this project, I combed through hundreds of archival materials to ensure that my work was as historically accurate as possible.
