Since at least 2010, [digital artists](https://manifestarblog.wordpress.com/about/) have been creating AR applications for social advocacy and cultural intervention. For example, Tamiko Thiel's AR project [Clouding Green](http://www.tamikothiel.com/AR/clouding-green.html) reveals the carbon footprint of specific technology companies. More recently, a group of New York artists created a ["vandalized" version of Jeff Koon's Snapchat sculptures](https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/08/jeff-koons-augmented-reality-snapchat-artwork-gets-vandalized/) as a way of protesting the digital takeover of public AR spaces.

We released our first AR application [to the Google Play store](https://web.archive.org/web/20210421123810/http://trace-arcs.english.ufl.edu/projects/scramble.html) in spring 2016.
