What is it about?

‘We began as part of the body…’ is an AR artwork by Beverley Hood, published with ASCUS Art & Science. Inspired by the eczema genetic research laboratory of Professor Sara Brown, it combines microscopy, digital LIDAR and electromagnetic scanning to create an augmented reality experience of the digitally captured lab. Narrated by a speech synthesis voice-over, the App tells the story of the organotypic, artificial skin cells, during their short, precious, three weeks long, ‘in-vitro’ life.
