After spending two years of living and working in Second Life on a daily basis, creative technologist/artist Sander Veenhof left this early stage metaverse in 2009 to enter a new realm: the AR domain. There he continued his favourite activity: exploring what it means to live in a programmable environment. In the early days of mobile AR his focus was on exploring space, ownership, and control. With his uninvited AR guerrilla show in MoMA, another fascination surfaced. Using AR together. Nowadays with bodytracking technology advancing rapidly and a future with always-on AR glasses, the influence of technology on our interpersonal relationships has his foremost attention. How to deal with AI monitoring us and requesting us to obey is what his Be Your Own Robotresearch is all about. But with his frolicky experimental Snapchat lenses, Veenhof hopes to express that our XR future can also be a lot of fun. If we manage to find the right role for ourselves.
