Chimerik 似不像
Chimerik 似不像 (pictured at top) will be on-site with an interactive video installation. Sammy Chien and Caroline MacCaull co-run the interdisciplinary art collective, which encompasses film, video, new media, virtual reality, projection, lighting design, experimental music, sound art, visual arts, contemporary dance, and theatre performance in its work. The company specializes in the audiovisual new-media software Isadora and has collaborated on more than 400 multidisciplinary projects exhibited locally at Vancouver New Music Festival and PuSh International Performing Arts Festival and as far away as the Digital Arts Festival Taipei, ISEA (International Symposium on Electronic Art), Tokyo Performing Arts Meeting, and beyond. With its interactive video installations and live visuals/projection design, it has worked with mega corporations such as NIKE, Microsoft, and Google. At the same time, the organization consists of artists from underrepresented groups, including people of colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, immigrants, women in technology, neurodiverse people, youth, and more.
