Project Name: Imagination and Joy (Lord of the Rings) A GAME in the making
The beginnings of the project was first initiated in 2022 as part of a VR Live art installation created for the Games in Music Conference in accompaniment with the UBC Orchestra and A Capella group. Fast forward two years later and I finally finished painting the entire virtual world.I brought together a team to bring elements of that world to life and then was thrilled to see that my art pieces were looped on the wall creating a vibrant montage of fun. I used AI to voice the characters, create the backgrounds and design concepts to form the impetus for imagination.

Huge thanks to Fanny Sazur of Alliance Francaise and Yangos hadjiyann for inviting me to participate this year as one of two local artist representatives. It's always an honor to perform in your own home town.
Team: Juliana Loh, Nicholas Liang, Ian Lochhead (Pomelo) and Gabriel Kwong.

We created a prototype game in unity that showcases a journey through Middle Earth. We user tested it with children and discovered that the experience was both fun and appealing. They liked the artwork and the positive messages from the characters the most.
