Experimental Animation
“Kaleidoscope is a video game concept confronting the complex impact that technology is actively having on our natural environments and the importance of finding a way to conserve what is left of them. In this world, the irresponsible use of technology has crystallized life into stained glass and has nearly eradicated it. It is up to the players to help nature thrive again and stop the impending destruction. This installation’s goal was to create an immersive and visceral experience where viewers are transported to this world in a way that assigns responsibility and opens up the possibility for a more conscious conservation effort.”
Tanya Forte is a visual development and concept artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Her practice focuses on pushing the boundaries of storytelling through a variety of media including painting, digital art, installation, graphic design, video editing, game design and animation. Her work bridges themes of conservation, memory and the impact of technology through interactive projects. She has a passion for story development and the pre-production process including character, creature, prop, and environment design. She loves creating little characters that have big stories to tell in a way that anyone can engage with. In 2025, Tanya graduated from OCAD University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Experimental Animation and from Vancouver Film School with an Associates Diploma in Concept Art. Her work has been showcased at a variety of OCAD U screenings and exhibitions, as well as at the International Festival of Authors (TIFA).
