The Sundance Institute has added 32 projects to its Frontier lineup for its 2020 Sundance Film Festival, including “Chomsky vs. Chomsky.”

The Frontier selection is a curation of cutting-edge independent and experimental media works by innovators and creators across mediums that include biotech, facial recognition, AI, Ar, Vr and big data.

The 2020 edition will return to two dedicated venue spaces at the festival, which are New Frontier at The Ray and New Frontier Central. They will host a variety of media installations. The festival takes place in Park City, Utah, and will run from Jan. 23 to Feb. 2. New Frontier alums include Doug Aitken, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chris Milk, Nonny de la Peña, Pipilotti Rist and Jennifer Steinkamp.

The Sundance Institute revealed the last batch of programming for the 2020 Sundance Film Festival — minus a few last-minute additions to its feature lineup, still to come — by announcing its New Frontier section, which this time around include not only augmented and virtual reality, but also SMS-based text messaging, biotech and artificial intelligence.

Like the innovative work it encompasses, Sundance’s New Frontier program has been evolving in recent years, as the festival aims to bring greater attention to the fields of Vr, artificial intelligence, and outside-the-box new media. During the 11-day event — which takes place from Jan. 23 through Feb. 2, 2020 in Park City, Utah — this work will have a dedicated home at two venues, the New Frontier at The Ray and New Frontier Central.

Some of the more unconventional pieces include “Anti-Gone” (pictured above), an installation that imagines the world post-climate change; “Spaced Out” from French artist Pierre Friquet a.k.

Roster of Vr, Ar, mixed reality (Mr) and AI returns to two dedicated spaces.

The climate crisis, wealth inequality, and the evolution of humanity inform Sundance Film Festival selections in the New Frontier section announced on Thursday (12).

Experimental media working across Vr, Ar, mixed reality (Mr) and AI examine these and other topics. Azibuye - The Occupation (South Africa), a selection in Vr Cinema by Dylan Valley, Caitlin Robinson and Stephen Abbott, follows a Johannesburg protest over land ownership; mixed-reality exhibit Solastalgia (France) by Antoine Viviani and Pierre-Alain Giraud imagines humans as holograms on the surface of an uninhabitable planet...
