ABOUT THE PROJECT

Meiyin Wang investigated notions of space that have been cracked open by developments in virtual, augmented and mixed reality, and the role that live art plays within this new vocabulary. As part of her residency, she organized This is How It Ends, a series of performances and panel discussions at Town Hall about the intersection of technology and the arts.
