'Chanel Miller has become emblematic of a survivor reclaiming her own voice and we hope with our project to become a small part of that, lifting her voice.' Via guardian
Students at Stanford University on Friday launched an interactive, digital public tribute to Chanel Miller, whose sexual assault case caused an international outcry after Miller read a powerful victim impact statement in court.
Using augmented reality, the Dear Visitor team is designed to project excerpts of Miller’s statement on a garden near the site where the assault occurred. Visitors can also hear Miller read her own words aloud, as well as the voices of students speaking about how the case impacted the campus. Stanford created the garden where the Dear Visitor project is located after discussions with Miller’s representatives to show support for Miller and survivors of sexual violence. The school’s garden project became mired in controversy after Stanford and Miller disagreed about a plaque for the site that would excerpt part of the statement.
“While acknowledging the powerful nature of the suggested quote, I and others felt that it expressed sentiments that would not be supportive in a healing space for survivors,” Drell said. “We believed there were many passages from Emily Doe’s letter that are both eloquent and appropriate.”
