Reclamation is a collaboration between Arizona State University’s program on Narrative and Emerging Media, alongside LA Trade Tech Architecture and Environment Design, Professor Marcela Oliva, XR/AI Creative Producer & Strategist, Kathleen Cohen, the California Dept. of Transportation/Caltrans, and local agencies.
