Meredith Monk's Rotation Shrine, 2021 is a single-channel video installation in black and white, with stereo sound, on a 10-minute loop. This is limited-time viewing.

Rotation Shrine was conceived as both a stand-alone installation and an introduction or overture to Indra’s Net, Meredith Monk’s immersive installation performance work affirming the interconnectedness of life. The shrine is intended as a prayer for the continuation of the Earth and contemplation on cycles of life and death.

The Mutable Archive: A Cure for Immortality is an expanded cinema performance work written and edited by Patricia Olynyk, produced and directed by Adam Hogan and Patricia Olynyk, and featuring a live score performed by Adam Hogan, presented in collaboration with the UC Irvine Departments of Art and Drama.
