I am Ryan David McLay, a visual artist and filmmaker based in Santiago, Chile. After 13 years teaching international visual arts, I’ve shifted from experimental video installations to an urgent preservation mission: a documentary bridging the archives of Bern, Switzerland, with the living heritage of the Canadian Prairies. What You’ll See: Past Video Artwork: Selected experimental art projects. Building History: Reconstructing a historically accurate 1910 sod house. Heritage Preservation: Collaborations with the Beiseker Museum, University of Calgary’s 3D LiDAR teams, and the Stoney Nakoda AV Club. We are in a race against time. We are capturing oral histories and digitally preserving crumbling structures before they vanish.
