TECHNE: The Vivid Unknown

BAM, Onassis and Under the Radar Present
TECHNE
Four Digital Installations
Curated by Onassis ONX

    Part of
  • Next Wave 2024 & Emerging Visions

“The Vivid Unknown,” by John Fitzgerald and Godfrey Reggio, is a collective experience that uses AI and computer vision to reimagine Reggio’s iconic 1982 film, Koyaanisqatsi. Visitors will explore the primal nexus of humans, nature, and technology, dynamically participating in shaping the unfolding narrative. As part of this special program, Koyaanisqatsi will be screened in its original form at BAM Rose Cinemas on January 7.

“The Vivid Unknown” is a part of TECHNE, a program of four large-scale digital artworks curated by Onassis ONX, an initiative by Onassis Culture dedicated to the development of new media art and digital experiences.

Ticket holders can enter the installation any time during their selected time slot.

Presented in partnership with Under the Radar. Visit utrfest.org for more information.
