Abstract

This article investigates the uncanny logics of space, time, and voice in augmented reality by theorizing and illustrating how augmented space can serve as a formal medium for writing. Critical analyses of the audio and video walks of artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, and of student work on a “Writing in Augmented Space” assignment, demonstrate how the literate and literary possibilities afforded by these logics, which first appear as difficulties, identify techniques of an emergent genre of writing in the English studies curriculum.
