Tartupaluk (Prototype) is a startling, rich and dizzying new VR experience that blends 360-degree live-action video, motion-capture animation, and cutting-edge visual effects
The very first thing that you see when visiting the Republic of Tartupaluk is a blinding white expanse of snow and ice, 1.3 square kilometres in size.
“We’ve all heard about the island for decades, but I kept on thinking about how the Inuit are united by sea ice, and this is a polar-bear hunting territory. There was never a border there until Canada and Denmark decided to put an imaginary one there,” Bathory says. “This gentlemen’s war, as they call it, is much more surreal than the idea of an imaginary republic of Inuit lovers.”
The production was put together by a Nunavut team working, as Bathory says, “Inuit-style” – a method of intense collaboration that emphasizes generalism rather than specificity. With a group of artists, writers, hunters, seamstresses, even neighbours and family members, Bathory headed to an island on the outside of Iqaluit to shoot the production, which runs a tight eight minutes.
