About

The Digital Exhibitions Toolkit provides institutions, curators, and artists with tools to help facilitate the production of interactive digital art exhibitions. The toolkit will incorporate solutions for mobile and desktop access to artworks created in virtual reality, augmented reality, exhibitions for video game consoles, in-person interactive experiences, and online browser-based exhibitions.

As part of the development of the Digital Exhibitions Toolkit, the Mackenzie will be presenting three digital art exhibits using the new platform over the coming years. Stay tuned to experience this innovative programming, and for the opportunity to try the toolkit yourself!

Echoes From the Future: Speculative Creatures & Post-Human Botanicals

Echoes from the Future: Speculative Creatures & Post-Human Botanicals renders current environmental issues visible in virtual reality, inviting audiences into an immersive alternative future for hybrid lifeforms.

Immerse yourself in an imaginative virtual world where art, technology, and environmental awareness converge.
