Hypercity app for iPhone and iPad

Hypercity attunes to increased surveillance technology in Toronto and the colonial infrastructures that paved its way. An interplay of machines, monsters, medicine, riots and speculative fictions, the artworks are a culmination of a Long Winter residency wherein emerging artists Cheyenne Rain LeGrande, Cassraa, Malik McKoy Vasuki Shanmuganathan and Shonee developed their artistic practice for the realm of Augmented Reality (AR). These projects are in conversation with commissioned works by Hiba Ali, Casey Koyczan and Linda Zhang. Gesturing to both the subversiveness and precarity of street art, the AR installations around Dundas West and other corners of the city invite participants to intervene and dream in Toronto’s fraught public space.
