There is a health resources QR code in the back with information on the modalities, doctors and health advocates that helped me heal. Fingerprints on the cover can be wiped off with a damp paper towel and allowed to dry.
Make sure you are connected to Wifi & make sure the Overly app is updated (before scanning any images)
Try getting closer to the image or one of the images (if it is on a spread), or move further back. Low contrast images or minimalist images may not scan well, or may take longer. When scanning, make sure there isn't a lot of glare on the book, and that the pages are as flat as possible.
AR technology recognizes image markers so you can also scan the same interactive images in the book, art prints or on the wall (for hanging art), or on the computer screen.
You may have heard of "a sketch a day" or other "everyday" projects like the crypto art record-breaking sale of Beeple's Everydays, in which Beeple created an image from start to finish every day for thirteen years. We tend to look at completeness in terms of the 24-hour circadian clock―"the male clock." Testosterone is highest in the morning―notice how we begin work around 9:00 a.m.―and then begins to drop off in the evening around 5:00 p.m. Hence, the 9-to-5 workday.
Now, nothing against the male biological clock, but the timing of our world is run in a way that's pretty one-sided, benefiting testosterone, and men have done a great job at leveraging and optimizing their biology. Essentially, society is run by a short-circuit battery (the 24-hour male clock) compared to a long-circuit battery (the 28-day female clock), neither one being better, just different. Within the less familiar infradian rhythm clock (your monthly cycle) for women, hormonal completeness lies within every phase, a 28-day series of 4 phases that cyclically repeats: Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal, and Menstrual. Similar to the cycles of the seasons and the earth, very few things in nature repeat the same thing every day.
The contrast of these ideas, which I learned about in my quest for answers in healing my debilitating endometriosis pain became the inspiration for my "Every Phase" series, which I began in April 2021. The series is about how I healed myself with the lesser-known female infradian rhythm 28-day clock in contrast to the masculine, 24-hour clock or "every day" lifestyle. So just like Beeple's record-breaking NFT project, Everydays: The First 5000 Days―I decided to actually live the art & create a piece of art from start to completion, not every day, but every phase that will continue for the next thirteen years (approximately five-thousand days). I named the series 'Every Phase' with the accompanying art of each phase metaphorically illustrating the different brain and body chemistry of what's occurring during that particular phase.
Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself is an AR-interactive art book that illustrates my journey of healing by looking at the things no one (including you) really wants to see. Augmented Reality (AR) interaction allows for the marriage of both the physical & digital worlds, enabling the artwork to be experienced in more than one format. This first book captures the first year of the series, from April 2021 to December 2021, and consists of 6 cycles, or 24 phases. I have also created an accompanying Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself podcast to help other women dealing with 'chronic' pain and hormonal imbalances by introducing some of the experts and practices that helped me achieve what I thought was impossible.
Thank you for having the bravery to face your shit & heal yourself.
