Get on the Map

Toasterlab creates place-based extended reality experiences that promote deeper engagement with history, community, and imagination. Toasterlab combines expertise in storytelling, theatrical and media production, and the development of new technology to produce both original work and partnerships. Our work ranges from live site-specific live performance to bespoke mobile applications and VR films, and often combines a variety of approaches to collapse time and space for the delivery of impactful narratives. From the largest festivals to community youth workshops, we build accessible ways to understand places in whole new ways.

Toasterlab is Ian Garrett, Justine Garrett, and Andrew Sempere. Its Mixed Reality Performance Atelier is supported through the generous support of Canada Council for the Arts.

Featured Project

Parkway Forest Park VR Project

This workshop took place over two weekends at Parkway Forest Park — on Saturday, June 30 & Monday, July 2, and Saturday, July 7 & Sunday, July 8.

Workshop participants devised and recorded site-specific short films in ParkwayForest Park using 360 immersive cameras. At the end of the second weekend—during the afternoon and evening of July 8—participants and the community shared their original content as part of a Pop-Up VR Cinema, in tents at the south end of the park.

At the end of the summer, on the evening of August 23, the community and the participants were invited to join Toasterlab to launch a mobile app that geolocates participants’ films throughout the park. The app launch took place as part of the pre-show for the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show screening on the same evening.
