Monica Storss is the creator of The Augmented Reality Poetry Machine.
The Augmented Reality Poetry Machine debuted at MIT’s Hacking Arts in 2019 and was sent to Earth’s moon in 2021.
The Augmented Reality Poetry Machine is an interactive, co-creative poetry experience in augmented reality.
Participants co-create poems with a live poet in a durational site-and-time based installation.
The poems are placed into an augmented reality environment to find, interact, experience, and archive. The project bridges personal expression and technological mediation, creating a space where individual narratives become shared experiences through poetry, augmented reality, and relational aesthetics.
The Augmented Reality (AR) Poetry Machine is an interactive art installation that combines technology and poetry to create a personalized, creative experience for anyone who participates.
The Augmented Reality Poetry Machine has three ways to participate: participants can read/see poems, hear and interact with poems, or co-create a poem with a live poet in limited run performance writing activations.
This project was created by Monica Storss to break down the barriers often found in high art and technology spaces, making them more approachable and inclusive. The project is designed for people of all backgrounds—whether you’re familiar with augmented reality or not, you can still be part of this creative process.
