About this film

Through the process of applying augmented reality (AR) filters to herself as researcher-cum-participant and recording the process, Lauren A Miller’s research grounds the ephemeral form of augmented reality (AR) filters into more stable artefacts. Using 12 distinct AR filter types before the platform is discontinued, this Screen Walk criticized AR filters of digital beauty standards, through a feminist lens. The discussion explored the legitimacy of using filters as a content creation or artist expression to subvert beauty ideals, while also considering the effects of Meta’s decision to remove this technology from its platforms from January 2025. Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
