Modern Mondays: An Evening with Lynette Wallworth

To kick off MoMA’s five-evening salute to the Sundance Film Festival’s New Frontier program, Australian artist Lynette Wallworth discusses her multimedia works, in which interactive and immersive technologies create powerful encounters with subjects as varied as war-ravaged communities and the immensity of the natural world. This evening includes the New York premiere of Collisions (2016), a short film and virtual-reality project developed through a New Frontier residency that debuted at Sundance 2016. Collisions centers on an indigenous elder who describes the Australian government’s atomic weapons tests of the 1950s as his first encounter with Western society. This 3-D, 360-degree experience produces a revelatory portrait of conflicting ways of life and affirms an arresting new mode of multimedia storytelling—in which cutting-edge technology serves to create a human connection.
