Art, technology
and the courage to imagine.
MOVE37XR is an Indigenous and Indo-Canadian led nonprofit creative studio and research lab making immersive media in service to life.
A practice
of relationship.
We bring artists, technologists, curators and researchers together to create installations, dome experiences and spaces for embodied learning.
Our work is informed by Indigenous intelligence and ancient wisdom traditions, including Tsawalk—interconnected wholeness—and non-dual approaches to awareness. These are distinct living traditions, held through relationships and cultural context.
Reciprocity, respect and cultural integrity shape how we collaborate. Our invitation is to makers across cultures who approach the work with care for people, place and the more-than-human world.

Our name & origins
An unexpected move.
MOVE37XR takes its name from AlphaGo’s surprising 37th move: a reminder that new possibilities can emerge beyond familiar patterns.
MOVE37XR was founded out of Emergent Performance Consulting, a complexity and systems practice. The studio extends that inquiry through collective artistic production and research.
