Montreal new media artist Skawennati’s Realizing the Virtual: A TimeTravellerTM Experience features a nine-episode machinima series, created in Second Life. It tells the story of a 22nd century Mohawk man who uses his edutainment system, TimeTravellerTM, to embark on a technologically-enhanced vision quest, visiting historical events significant to First Nations. Dunlop’s presentation of the TimeTravellerTM series will take place in a uniquely-designed real-world environment that mimics the artist’s virtual world, created by Skawennati and collaborators. Curated by Jennifer Matotek, Director/Curator.
