Artist Petko Dourmana is bringing in a multimedia installation "Post Global Warming Survival Kit," which puts viewers into a room where they have to use night vision devices to explore the futuristic world.
There also are a few exhibits that take social networking to another level. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will bring projects from his website, Hit Record, which takes collaboration to the internet by having producers, writers and directors create and combine content. This Hit Record collaboration shows how users came together to create the short film, "Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny."

"Cloud Mirror" by Eric Gradman combines social networking with augmented reality. The exhibit uses your personal information gathered from your Facebook or Twitter pages and projects them as thought bubbles next to your head as it is projected onto the wall for all to see. So make sure you bring your friends to this one so you can watch them get embarrassed by the strange things they post on the Internet!

Artist Tracey Snelling brings multimedia art to life with "Bordertown." Snelling brings miniature buildings to life by displaying videos of real life situations. In "House of Beauty, Prayer and BBQ" a strip of buildings houses a church where clips from the movie "The Apostle" play, and scenes from "Beauty Shop" play in a salon storefront. Blending these media makes viewers feel like like they are peering in on the lives of others.
So if you find yourself in Park City next week, take a break from the cinematic excellence and check out New Frontier on the lower level of 333 Main St., which will be open starting next Friday, Jan. 22, going through Saturday, Jan. 30. (And check out the full breakdown of the installation here.)
