Forever Learning Month 2023: Technologies of Past and Present Tour in Red Hook

Join us as we tour a New York neighborhood with a rich industrial history—now home to organizations working with creative technologies. The tour of Red Hook, Brooklyn, will be led by Justin Rivers, FCRH ’01, chief experience officer of Untapped New York, and will end up at Pioneer Works for a private, after-hours viewing of the mixed reality experience on view, Medusa.

Directed by scientist and artist Yoyo Munk, Medusa is an ambitious project developed by media collective Tin Drum in collaboration with architect Sou Fujimoto. Bridging art, science, music, and technology, it comprises a unique and evolving mixed-reality experience that envelops visitors in a new realm of physicality, visuality, and sound. Pioneer Works is an artist- and scientist-led nonprofit cultural center in Red Hook, Brooklyn, that fosters innovative thinking through the visual and performing arts, technology, music, and science.
