Further Acknowledgements
Presented by the Peripheral Visions Co-Lab, Virtual Intrigue and Ephemeral Ruptures was undertaken thanks in part to funding from the Connected Minds Program, supported by Canada First Research Excellence Fund, Grant #CFREF-2022-00010″. Led by York University in partnership with Queen’s University, Connected Minds is a first-of-its-kind research program that studies the risks and benefits modern technology has on society, now and in the future.

Thank you to our sponsors at York University, including Connected Minds, Sensorium Centre for Digital Arts and Technology, The Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Languages, The Department of Cinema and Media Arts and the Media Arts Program at York University as well as the the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
