Institute History
Description
In this beautifully poetic work, the artist’s wisdom tooth is sent into suborbital space aboard Flight NS-11, Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket ship. The tooth, carried inside a crystalline robotic sculpture, executes a spinning performance in zero gravity. A two-channel video installation opens up a space between the space mission and the dreamlike ceremonies that anoint its passage. A VR experience casts the audience in the role of the tooth on its celestial journey.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
