Join Curtis Wong (MOHAI Board Member), Devorah Romanek (MOHAI Chief of Exhibits and Interpretive Services), and Leonard Garfield (MOHAI Executive Director) for a discussion of Wayne Wong’s collection and the lessons we can learn from it today. Following the presentation, Team Obscura (Asa Symons, Caiya Wiltshire, Hridae Walia, and Nick Hallin) will immerse audience members in the photographic perspective of Wayne Wong, presenting a personalized, evolving documentary experience. The “Portola Obscura”, a retrofitted VR headset, tracks an individual user’s gaze, using positional metadata to chart a narrative trajectory through Wayne’s images. The resulting documentary is then overlaid with the user’s gaze and projected to a wider audience, offering insight into how others perceive and interpret images.
