I'm thrilled to be showing "The Eternal Ephemeral" as part of ISEA 2024. This WebXR project can be viewed online alongside some amazing artwork, all featured on the STYLY Global platform.

In addition to exhibiting the work, I'll be giving an artist talk. If you've registered for the conference, you can already view the talk, and I'll be joined by a few other artists for a virtual Q&A on Tuesday, June 25 @ 10am Brisbane time (GMT+10)

Hope to see you there!

I'm very happy to announce the launch of Firgrove Re-imagined, an online exhibit featuring the work of six community artists and activists from the Jane-Finch community.

For the past 6 weeks, I've been collaborating with these community members to create individual virtual environments to be hosted on Mozilla Hubs. I'm very proud of this work and all the dedication and commitment that went into it.

The project is currently being exhibited as part of Firgrove Forever, an exhibit being shown at Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences Congress 2023.

Come check out the Firgrove Re-imagined exhibit here:

If you're planning on visiting the virtual exhibit, please feel free to message me! If I'm available, I'll come join you and give you a tour!

I'm very pleased to announce my latest VR experience, The Eternal Ephemeral.

Created using the STYLY VR platform, I'm really happy with the way it turned out given that it is essentially a Web-based VR experience.

You can view it online in a browser or on a VR headset (Quest/PCVR) via the STYLY app using the link below:

Posted • STYLY • Psychic VR Lab] AR(umination): Land-based Teaching through/with Technology

Exciting event announcement with SummerWorks] and Trinity Square] 📣 >Free / Learning / Participatory / Augmented Reality

Lead by Amanda Amour Lynx, David Han and Kaya Joan

In this workshop, participants will learn the skills necessary to create an AR (augmented reality) installation that revises and reconsiders the buried histories, rivers and names of Tkaronto. As a place that holds a history of treaty purchases and their timelines that shape what we know of the city, the natural curves and contours of the land itself reveal stories that remain hidden, buried, or forgotten. AR technology will be employed to invite participants to tread gently and not trample over beings and animacy unseen but present in the city. With balance and kindness, participants will ruminate on the relationship between land and city, informed by land-based teachings that reveal cycles and patterns and encourage coexistence with them.

Venue:
401 Richmond - Trinity Square Video & Outdoors
AUGUST 10, 10:00AM

Registration limited to 10 participants.

Reserve your spot at the link in our bio ✨

Tech requirements: (participants will be invited to let SummerWorks know if you need assistance sourcing any equipment):

Participants will receive additional instructions upon registration.

Please note that you must be available for the orientation session on Monday August 8 (on Zoom) from 6pm – 8pm, as well as the full day workshop on Wednesday August 10.

I'm super happy to officially announce the launch of my latest project, "The rust in the furrow 2022." It's an immersive virtual environment that is a re-creation of an installation made back in 2013.

The project recounts the story of a mysterious visitor's interactions with residents of the buildings now located on the site of the Markham Museum.

Taking the form of a museum audio guide, video documentary and sculptural "artifacts", this project integrates past and present facts and fictions, destabilizing and re-imagining history. Here, the actual and the virtual have become entangled, distorting spatial and temporal perception.

This project is receiving its world premiere as part of the New Media program of the 45th Asian American International Film Festival.

Playing around with Keijiro Takahashi's truly excellent VFX examples. Also managed to also incorporate a real-time signed distance field to drive the smoke effect as well. Will likely be incorporating some of this experimentation into a new project.
