Wenhua Shi, UNC filmmaker and media artist in communication studies

Project Description
Wenhua Shi, a filmmaker and media artist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, created a site-specific installation, Future Talk, dealing with archival recording that explores a physical interaction with virtual information/historical data. Future Talk uses found objects and sound and re-imagines the 1972 chat between China's Chairman Mao and former U.S. President Richard Nixon. Source materials include the archival gramophone recording of the Mao and Nixon speech/debates.
