The IM4 Lab was created by Indigenous filmmaker, Loretta Todd, alongside media matriarchs Doreen Manuel, Cease Wyss, and Tracey Kim Bonneau, in collaboration with Emily Carr University. Join artists from the IM4 Lab to learn more about how Augmented Reality (AR) enhances Indigenous storytelling and the work that the Lab is doing to break down the barriers to Indigenous artists in VRAR. This session is part of the Lab’s Indigenous Knowledge Transfer Series, exploring questions such as: How does immersive reality technology reflect Indigenous expression of time and space? And how can Indigenous artists reinforce their knowledge systems in immersive experiences? What fun and trickster notions of storytelling can happen with Instagram filters?
