The Paris-based digital artist has been working with students, staff and faculty at the Basically Good Media Lab on his newest VR project throughout November.
Paris-based digital artist Pierre "Pyaré" Friquet has been working with students, staff and faculty on his latest virtual reality (VR) video experience, Captain Nemo, as part of a residency at the Basically Good Media Lab (BGML) at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECU).
Pyaré says his time at ECU has given him access not only to technology and expertise but also to a level of postcolonial discourse that has yet to permeate many mainstream European cultures.
"I'm learning and getting education from everyone, honestly," he says. "It's great to be in this place for the first time. Lots of inspiration, great resources, great vibe in general. I feel very much at home."
