DAWN: an AR experience

Immerse yourself in Presentville, an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) designed to create real world change and empowerment for struggling individuals, families and communities.

DAWN is a mix of performance art, live painting, sacred Lakota quilt making, physical art exhibit, holograms, and virtual and augmented reality. During the event participants will view one of a kind art pieces that are connected to stories of empowerment and real world change. There will be limited edition Presentville art available for sale and many characters for guests to meet: Native American Lakota characters from the Pine Ridge Reservation will display their traditional arts and finish a special Star Quilt live, Dave Swallow a renowned Lakota Medicine Man will share stories from his short film Ghost Dance and will hold small audiences, Gbaby, one of the original Presentville Characters will make his debut for autographs, participants will have the opportunity to become Santa in a virtual reality simulation, and explore the augmented reality portion of the show as well.

Additional Information:
Participants will begin this “create your own adventure” immersive art experience by signing a media release to acknowledge that there will be cameras capturing the event for a reality TV show pilot. Additionally, we will ask participants to acknowledge the rules of the game before entering the play space:

1) do no harm to yourself, others or the play space

2) play the game for the benefit of all beings.

Participants will be guided through the experience individually or in small groups and meet one character after the next. The interactions with each character will determine the path they take through the live show. The game is connected to Global Peace Train, a nonprofit that empowers leaders around the globe and helps them transform their lives and the lives of those in their communities.

Age Guideline:
All ages: possible scary costumed characters, mature language and sexual content. All children under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

VIP Tickets:
VIP ticket holders will have a personal guide and that gives them access to the front of all lines (just like at Disney World, but with a personal guide). VIPs will also be able to pass through the “Gateways” without having to follow the rules of the public. Most of the public will have to earn their way into certain experiences through those “Gateways”, but VIP’s will be able to experience the coveted art pieces even if they haven’t made it through the requirements. Each VIP will be personally guided and the guides will inquire about the participants interests in order to deliver the most powerful and customized experience.
