AR Reveals Route 66's Indigenous Roots

Diné artist Akila Martinez drops a mind-bending AR experience called “Origin Route,” transforming Route 66 into a portal revealing Indigenous trade paths buried beneath the asphalt. Inspired by her grandma’s awe over a Diné-language film, she uses AR not just to dazzle—but to revive language, culture, and forgotten histories. This isn’t just art; it’s a call to see highways as living threads of connection, urging us to honor the layered past beneath every mile.
