Our Home and Haunted Land
an exploration of space, memory and virtual reality
Our Home and Haunted Land is a 10-minute linear virtual reality experience that examines the colonial histories embedded in the names of a number of Toronto spaces. It incorporates research-creation and decolonial methodologies to expose the violent legacy of the land we live on.
The project uses 3D photogrammetry scans of significant Toronto spaces rendered as point clouds as a starting point for the creation of virtual 3D environments.
Our Home and Haunted Land was also adapted, in collaboration with Priam Givord, into a large scale public art project featuring a 2D projection on decommissioned grain silos located on Toronto’s waterfront.
Produced as part of the Digital Futures graduate program at OCAD University.
