Hello BEANS! Stephen Black here, introducing myself, Bubiko and my digital adbeantures, like POAPs.

ME, STEPHEN BLACK.

The first time I came to NOLA, I hitchhiked from Rochester, New York. For Mardi Gras, and more. My very good friend made me feel at home here, and though he’s up in Natchez now, I still feel at home here. FWIW, I have lived most of my life in Asia. Covid changed that.

I am an artist/producer who now works with AR Augmented Reality. I am also a photographer and a video maker.

In 2021, I made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIFNFiUUIxc

(This is kind of technical, but I am the spatial cinema artist of the Open Augmented Reality Cloud, the OARC. The OARC is a group of Volunteer professionals who want to make the spatial web open and ethical.)

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE BUBIKO FLY LIKE THAT, CLICK THIS LINK:

(But you need to have Facebook, and do it on a phone)

Laissez le bean temps rouler!

BUBIKO was created by myself and Sayuri Okayama to have fun and explore the possibilities of Augmented Reality. Her Instagram is here.

POAP

A POAP is a digital souvenir. Like a ticket stub, except digital, and unique.

Some people collect POAPS, and some people sell them, but I make them just to share the experience. THANK YOU, KREWE OF THE RED BEAN FOR LETTING BUBIKO FLY WITH YOU.

This is from the POAP HQ website.

Technical support: Novaby, Flamingo Filters, Area 505, Augmented.City, XRMasters, OARC, Maith
