What: Zoom science class about light for k-8th grade in two sections
Where: zoom link
When: November 13 at 12 pm & November 17 at 5 pm & November 24 at 2 pm

Overview: This lesson asks participants to embody light and travel along a journey to see the inner workings of our world external and our internal worlds. While light as a scientific concept allows us to understand our world, it also provides ample analogies and access points to dive into our deeper psychology and philosophies by shining a light on the way we perceive our realities. Following that theme, the lesson is formatted with nuggets of science and short prompts for transformative reflections on self-development, growth and leadership.

ANIMALIA SUM (Sundance Film Fest 2020)
By Bianca Kennedy & Felix Kraus | 2019 | 9 min | VR
A riff on the classic British nature documentary, this optimistic interactive VR experience takes on the future of evolution and the apparent inevitability of insects becoming humanity’s main food source. Fashioned out of animated, watercolored, handcrafted miniatures, ANIMALIA SUM is a peculiar and surreal rabbit hole that takes audiences through a lesson of the medicinal and nutritional values of insects, as well as what it means to be an insect in the new food economy.

The Summation Of Force (Sundance Film Fest 2018)
By Narelle Autio, Trent Parke & Matthew Bate | 2017 | 14 min | VR
In a moonlit suburban backyard, two brothers battle one another in an otherworldly game of cricket in this stunning black and white live-action study of the motion, physics, and psychology of sport. Created by photographers Trent Parke and Narelle Autio, in collaboration with filmmaker Matthew Bate, this VR artwork offers a cosmic, darkly beautiful, and dreamlike metaphor for life.

Kaiju Confidential (Sundance Film Fest 2019)
By Thomas O’Donnell, Ethan Shaftel & Piotr Karwas | 2019 | 5 min | VR
The Godzilla genre is flipped on its head when we get up close and personal with these towering animated monsters. Rampaging across a sprawling Japanese metropolis, destroying everything in their wake in epic fashion, their equally huge neuroses and insecurities take the bigger hit. Paul F. Tompkins and Blake Anderson voice one of the funniest VR series of the year.

Hominidae (Sundance Film Fest 2020)
By Brian Andrews | 2019 | 6 min | VR
The “arachnid hominid” is an original species comprised of photo-composites built from human and veterinary X-ray films—they are intelligent creatures with human and spider physiology. Hominidae follows the life of one arachnid hominid as she struggles to raise her young in a hostile environment. This emotional and exquisitely crafted experience is set in a world of X-ray visibility and wild anatomical re-imagination, where creatures have evolved in surprising ways

The Outlet: A Path Through Skateboarding (click to view)

(24 min) Nathan Gentry

“Most skateboarders, who have been skating for most of their lives, have found that skating is much more than a hobby. Obviously, skateboarding is a passion of theirs. They love doing it. However, skateboarding has led them down paths that they could have never foreseen.”
