See Rise is a virtual reality and analog site-specific interactive project that shows the change in environment and effect of sea-level rise in high-density locations in Boston at risk of flooding. This project covers the themes of climate change with specific attention to sea-level rise and analog-digital continuity in placemaking. Engagement occurred in two parts: physical markers at the site delineating the future shoreline, and a VR visualization of the site with the goal of catalyzing the collective memory of the individual to take action on climate change.
