Basically Good Media Lab

Reimagining old and new technologies to explore how creative media can drive cultural expression, community building and meaningful social and political impact.

Media Research With Purpose

The Basically Good Media Lab (BGML) is a creative research space at Emily Carr University committed to exploring media technologies through fresh, critical perspectives. Our projects focus on developing novel forms of storytelling, performance and creative expression with an emphasis on social, ecological and political impact and community building.

We engage artists, designers and researchers in research about the role of technology in our lives and encourage development that serves the greater good. With the support of students and partners, BGML leads research and teaching initiatives that push the boundaries of immersive media and critical creative technologies.

Integrated Motion Studio

The Integrated Motion Studio is a large black-box space equipped with state-of-the-art tools for motion capture, tracking and stereoscopic projection. This environment supports both research and creative production, enabling experimentation with full-body motion capture, real-time tracking and immersive visualization.

Our infrastructure is backed by a growing toolkit and dedicated technical staff who support students, researchers and external collaborators in developing media-rich, high-impact work.
