Discussing cultural hybridity through art and interactive media.

Daerhyk (Derrick Fields) is an artist, creative director, and educator in Chicago, Illinois, whose digital works center on the exploration and research of a historic cross-cultural blend of Black and Japanese media.

They have served various non-profits and institutions, supporting a future in which burgeoning creators harness their resources and agency to design while broadening their understanding of worlds beyond their own, using computers to bridge cultures. Daerhyk believes that as new definitions of interactive entertainment are developed, they are valuable for education, inspiration, and global connections.
