Look Again. Jan 19 – 29, 2012 Park City, Utah

Jeremy Mendes and Leanne Allison’s poignant interactive documentary about a bear in the Canadian Rockies illuminates the way humans engage with wildlife in the age of networks, satellites, and digital surveillance. Audiences from around the world can use their smartphones to become part of an interactive forest environment rich with bears, cougars, sheep, deer, and people as they follow an emotional story of a grizzly bear tagged and monitored by Banff National Park rangers.

30-minute narrative starts at the top of every hour

This installation will launch in a special ticketed event/reception on Friday, January 20 at 8:00 p.m. at New Frontier.
