Tony Vieira's practice spans augmented reality, virtual reality, location-based sound, documentary, and electronic music. His work asks what it means to listen, to remember, and to be present — in places both physical and virtual.
His projects have been exhibited internationally, including at Lydgalleriet in Bergen, Norway, and the Electronic Literature Organization Conference. He is committed to work that features underrepresented voices — most recently producing documentary media for the African Nova Scotian Climate Justice Project.
Vieira holds an appointment at York University in Cinema and Media Studies, where he teaches and researches XR, listening, and future storytelling.
