Mira Musank is a textile upcycling artist in the 2025–26 PHI Immersive Residency whose work explores overconsumption, material transformation, and overlooked environmental realities.
As part of her residency, she is developing her work in collaboration with PHI Studio and integrating new technologies to design more innovative and interactive forms of audience engagement.
This interview is part of a broader reflection on circularity and on creative practices rooted in existing materials.
We extend our thanks to Lignes de fuite for supporting the organization and conceptual development of this project at PHI, as well as to Agog for their partnership in this edition of the PHI Immersive residency, “XR for Impact.”
PHI Immersive is an intensive six-week residency program led by PHI Studio in Montréal, in partnership with Agog: The Immersive Media Institute. The program supports creators and changemakers who wish to use extended reality (XR) for the common good by providing tailored guidance, collaborative opportunities with PHI Studio experts, and access to its creative and technological resources.
Over the six-week residency, the selected artist(s), group, or collective receives tailored support from PHI Studio teams. This guidance brings together creative, technical, and strategic expertise, dedicated workspace, and opportunities to connect with community partners, helping to consolidate the concept, test creative directions, and prepare the project’s next phase.
