Jordan Hill is a Canadian and Coast Salish (T’Sou-ke Nation) multimedia artist currently residing in Vancouver. His work alludes to a growing problem within contemporary culture where the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred. How do we navigate a manipulated world where truth is incredibly difficult to locate? Through the intersection of digital and physical environments, he questions the relationship between the notion of both real and virtual subjects. Jordan’s work aims to intervene in normalized social and spatial assumptions we make upon being introduced to spaces, and in what ways we allow the artificial to undermine our own intuition.
Artist in residence: Jordan Hill
Between September to December 2025, Coast Salish artist Jordan Hill, was the Taqsiqtuut Fall Artist in Residence.
Over the course of Jordan’s residency he has been learning Augmented Reality (AR) with the purpose to share his knowledge with circumpolar artists as part of a larger collaborative project and event with the Taqsiqtuut Lab. Through this residency, he has hosted multiple AR workshops in both Victoria, Canada, and Umeå, Sweden. Through these workshops, Jordan is facilitating opportunities for these artists to reimagine their cultural practices in an immersive digital format that impose, subvert, and expand existing physical spaces.
Additionally, throughout this residency, he has been working on his own installation project. His project is questioning vinyl house siding as a material and the complicated relationship he had with it growing up on a reservation. Specifically, the perceptual multitudes of unkempt property, social and cultural value, and maintenance as privilege. The Taqsiqtuut Lab has facilitated resources to give Jordan the time and space he needs to work through this project. Using his experience with animation and installation, Jordan is working toward these explorations, bringing together an immersive work by the end of his time with the Lab
