Veterans tribute receives donated artwork with augmented‑reality feature
Summary
A donated piece titled 'Yankee Doodle 2012' by artist Tim Yanke was presented to the city for the upcoming Veterans Memorial; presenters said the work includes an augmented‑reality feature that can be viewed with the Moving Canvas app.
At the council meeting, Lori Chockley and Mary Pat Elledge presented a donated artwork for the Veterans Memorial. Chockley said she met the artist, Tim Yanke, and that he donated a piece the presenters referred to as "Yankee Doodle 2012." Mary Pat Elledge thanked the artist and said the work blends nostalgic imagery and southwestern tones.
Chockley described an interactive element: if viewers use the Moving Canvas app and point their phone at the piece, the flag image animates and the Star‑Spangled Banner plays. Council members thanked the presenters and said they looked forward to displaying the piece in City Hall near the upcoming memorial.
