New Frontier presents media installations, multimedia performances, transmedia experiences, panel discussions, feature films, and more. Salt Lake Art Center presents New Frontier in Salt Lake City for the first time ever. Take One, January 21 - 29, will include five transmedia works from New Frontier, and Take Two, February 4 - March 25, will add seven additional works to the mix.

NEW FRONTIER EVENTS
DISCUSSION AND COMIC BOOK SIGNING: LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON ON RAW/WAR
MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 6:30 PM, SIGNING AT 7:30 PM
  Lynn Hershman Leeson employs transmedia storytelling to create a seminal history of the American Feminist Art Movement. Expanding the scope of her documentary !Women Art Revolution, RAW/WAR is a live, user-generated, community-curated video archive that documents the achievements of women artists. RAW/WAR reconceives history as an ongoing project of collaborative authorship where participants enter an interactive environment to upload new material and use Wii-powered virtual flashlights to illuminate invisible histories. RAW /WAR is created by Lynn Hershman Leeson in collaboration with Alexandra Chowaniec, Brian Chirls, and Gian Pablo Villamil.
PERFORMANCE: MYTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE BY MIWA MATREYEK
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 7:00, 8:00, AND 9:00 PM
 Brimming with elevated visions of the ways the human body interacts with its surrounding environment, award-winning animator Miwa Matreyek integrates her own shadow into her whimsical, handcrafted, animated worlds. Her breathtakingly beautiful images mix with dreamy original music sung by Anna Oxygen to create glistening realms of enchantment. Myth and Infrastructure expands the scope of the connections to the environment as a whole.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 7:00 PM
