Interactive projects from the National Film Board of Canada demonstrate how algorithm-driven storytelling can illuminate the structural tensions that define the Canadian aporetic condition. Through a close study of Bear 71, The Space We Hold, Biidaaban: First Light, and Do Not Track this paper demonstrates how code-based interfaces encourage participants to co-produce knowledge that challenges settler governance, data capitalism, and extractive ecological logics. The analysis blends media studies, public-sphere theory, and the aporetic framework to trace connections among wildlife surveillance, urban futurism, testimonial memory, and personalized data dashboards. Each project cultivates digital counterpublics in which Indigenous sovereignty, ecological interdependence, survivor authority, and data-justice activism gain discursive traction. The findings suggest that immersive design can promote epistemological justice – fair access to knowledge production and recognition of diverse ways of knowing – by redistributing representational power, visualizing previously hidden infrastructures, and expanding civic imagination within a publicly funded platform. These insights suggest practical pathways for cultural institutions seeking to align interactive media with democratic resilience and equitable futures.
