My AR projects deal with mental health among famous jazz and blues musicians and how that led to the genius in their music but at what cost to the musicians and the art form? I call the project "Jazz as Data" and how artists such as John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis and others had mental health challenges that greatly influenced their art and music.
For Billie Holiday after experiencing major depression after recording "Strange Fruit" to Miles Davis dealing with psychotic episodes following the recording of "Kind of Blue" no jazz musicians was safe from mental illness back then in the late 1940's-1950's and this project deals with mental health episodes by musicians and I stressed having the meanings behind the project displayed so the viewer can see exactly what the artists were dealing with having psychotic episodes and mental health breakdowns.
