VRTLWRLDS
Director
Triptych installation trekking the vaguely inhabited virtual worlds built to recreate reality; ones formed through faithfully interpreted large-scale layouts, whose missing details go unnoticed in their efforts to cast a grounded visual background for navigators and simulations - of a microcosmic uncanniness, digital altworlds ; second lives, empty streets.

Polyptych installation confronting the semiotics of current Canadian society, from its capital city; what's become a site of disruption and white nationalistic anger in the last year through the emboldened actions of the 'freedom convoy', itself a beacon for rising far-right sentiments, stoked by paralleling developments in America - of a postdigital preservation.
