Achievements 

San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts Program 6 features Prof. Jeanne Liotta

Jeanne Liotta's tour de force projection performance Path of Totality spins the most ecstatic of the cinematic from the flickering loops and household objects to create a luminous show and tell that transmutates base matter to pure energy. Path to Totality anchors a program of discovered sights, found sounds, and meditations on the fragility of life and the inner lives of the inanimate. Reports from the world reinforce the urgency of our actions: forced, folded, and coaxed to motion.
