EŁEGHÀÀ ; ALL AT ONCE
VR / 3D animated short film by Casey Koyczan
This VR / 3D animated short film presents multiple overlapping timelines of Denendeh; the giant animals that roamed the North of the past, the present landscape, and the future infused with technology and habitable orbiting stations for our population as the world rebuilds itself. Inspired by legends, our current climate and society, and tentative future outcomes, this short film asks the question of what our world was, what it is now, and how it might be in the future.
TADO,ETŁA ; WALK IN A CIRCLE
Digital series by Casey Koyczan
This body of work was created by re-imagining materials from Indigenous culture and Canada’s Arctic as an embodiment of human characteristics and walk cycles within a 3D environment to bring out their spirit.
Drawing inspiration from such mediums and materials as moose/caribou hair tufting, beadwork, hide-tanning and quillwork, these works showcase surreal transformations of how they are interpreted and appreciated. As an artist who has loved these materials since childhood but has not avidly used them in a physical sense, my approach has allowed me to work with them in a completely different way with digital influence and being able to implement physics properties.
“In creating these walk cycles, even though the materials I am working with are digital, I am treating them with the same amount of respect as if they were physical in the real world.”
