International artist Wu Tsang shares the creative and collaborative process for producing her monumental immersive artwork Of Whales. This dynamically generated real-time video installation reimagines the classic 1851 Herman Melville story of Moby Dick from the perspective of the sperm whale, inviting viewers on a mesmerizing journey through the depths of a CGI (computer-generated imagery) ocean. In this lively conversation with the ICA’s Barbara Lee Chief Curator, Ruth Erickson, learn about this extraordinary artwork and the artist’s refreshing adaptation of Melville’s classic American novel using the Unity gaming platform with XR (extended reality) technologies.
