The Founders Pillars is a two-part installation: The Power Loom, a multimedia installation that digitally weaves African textiles, and a site-specific Augmented Reality (AR) experience that uses those very patterns and visualizations to transform the columns of the New York Stock Exchange into a memorial to enslaved peoples. By Lesiba Mabitsela, Meghna Singh, and Simon Wood.
