EVENT DETAILS

Join us for a very rare inside look at a collaboration between the creative technologist and director Lance Weiler and one of the most fascinating sci-fi minds in film, David Cronenberg.

A pioneer in immersive storytelling, Lance Weiler stepped into yet another frontier as Creative Director on the Body/Mind/Change project when he combined data, storytelling and the "internet of things" to create a one-of-a-kind fictional experience based on biotechnology which appeared in Cronenberg's work.

It's a play on the quantified self and an experiment in data-generated objects and It plays into the whole data movement and our obsession with it and the narcissistic qualities of it.
