About Your Instructor

I’m founder of local tech company MoniGarr.com and winner of many tech awards since the early 1990s. I am multi-racial and self-identify as Onkwehonwe. I create & teach XR and tech workshops for IM4 (Indigenous Matriarchs 4) at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, the University of Victoria and other locations in North America.
Much of my work focuses on using internet technologies to build & maintain endangered language revival & retention projects, Indigenous Futurism experiences and of course the surrounding north east woodlands influences much of my art work.
I produce & sell XR experiences, games and 360 Films worldwide. You can see some of my work on APTN (Future History TV, Coyote Science and the NAAF Awards), in many tech magazines, software books and news articles since the early 1990s.

EQUIPMENT Safety equipment

First Time at MoniGarr VR Art Class: VR face mask that I designed and sewed for you to keep. It is soft, re-usable, washable and keeps your bare skin off VR devices that the general public uses. It also helps to stop or lessen what we call ‘VRacoon Face’ (dark red lines & indentation around your eyes from wearing VR devices.
