General Strike Simulator is an immersive installation that imagines a journey through Toronto during a citywide general strike. Following the route of the 510 Spadina streetcar, the work moves through a digitally reconstructed city populated by crowds, demonstrations, and other signs of collective action.

Built in Unity, the project draws on labour history, protest, and urban space to explore how political events can be imagined through simulation. The viewer occupies the position of a passenger, witnessing the strike unfold without directly intervening.
