Mariah: Acts of Resistance doc screening
Mariah's focus is twofold: first, activism about the opioid epidemic, art, and corrupt funding sources. And second, to raise awareness for the future implications of AR in public and private spaces (i.e., property rights). Through this experience we pose the question, who owns our virtual space within the AR cloud (aka the parallel digital universe or metaverse) when it becomes reality?

In September of 2020, the Mariah app launched on the app store to substantial press. The first iteration explored AR’s potential for creating multi-layered narratives and its ethical implications by virtually hacking into the MET Museum by replacing big pharma donated art and signage with names and audio from victims of the opioid epidemic via augmented reality.

Artist Talk: Professor Adam DelMarcelle
John Stewart Memorial Library lower level
Adam DelMarcelle’s prints and social art actions have been made in Pennsylvania, on the frontlines of the exploding opioid epidemic and have functioned to educate and mobilize community response through compelling his viewers to ask better questions by asking themselves by considering what part of the landscape of the problem they are responsible for. After losing a brother to an opioid overdose, DelMarcelle committed his life to the betterment of his community through his work as an educator and artist. In 2020 he co-launched Mariah. Mariah is a site-specific, augmented reality application that narrates stories of historical injustice through the backdrop of significant cultural institutions and the funding that has allowed them to exist. DelMarcelle’s work is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress in Washington DC, Cushing Whitney medical library at Yale University, Syracuse University, Quillen College of Medicine medical Library, The Samek Museum and several other collections throughout the United States. DelMarcelle holds a BFA from Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is an Assistant professor in the BA and MFA program at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. He travels and speaks extensively in the US to students about the responsibility they possess to humanity through the work they create.
