Wisdom of Atlanta: Wisdom of Atlanta transforms the city’s collective experiences into a living installation of curiosity and shared humanity. Through a combination of 3D animation created in VR, motion tracking tech, and projection mapping, Boehm invites participants to enter a playful yet thoughtful interaction with a fortune teller who channels advice from strangers across the city.

The installation, developed during Boehm’s residency at the Public Art Futures Lab, is part of a larger site-specific activation slated for Downtown Atlanta. The upcoming event marks the project’s first major public preview!

This event is for all ages!
