Special Exhibit "First Contact" to Open Sept. 23

Through digital projections, landscape photography, high-definition video, and forest audio recordings taken at the Harvard Forest, overlaid with historical voiceover texts and music, First Contact will immerse visitors in the experience of 17th century peoples as they struggled to reconcile opposing notions about land use.

The multimedia exhibit will open in the Fisher Museum on September 23 at 2:00pm. The opening event will feature a talk and film screening by 2011-2012 artist-in-residence Roberto Mighty, followed by a light reception.
