Adrian Jones

Adrian Jones is an artist, creative technologist and archivist whose practice is shaped by a commitment to those living in society’s margins. Utilizing his formal background in electrical engineering and software development, Adrian's creative work explores the power of speculative imagination and intergenerational storytelling within digital spaces.

In 2021, Adrian began developing Looking Glass, an app-based archive of Black life in Pittsburgh, which uses augmented reality to connect the present to both the past and imagined futures. Looking Glass is built on the belief that the practices of remembering and imagining have the power to transform. By deepening our understanding of the present and envisioning the city as a space where Black life can be celebrated, Looking Glass aims to open new pathways toward healing and collective action.
