Bone Portraits

Synopsis:
In 1895, a hapless inventor stumbles upon a light that burns through skin: in a flash, the X-ray is born. Blending gothic horror, old-time vaudeville, and sweeping romance, Bone Portraits takes us back to this moment of discovery, when the world split open like an atom and nothing could ever be seen the same way again. Bone Portraits examines 19th century inventiveness (the birth of film, electricity, and radiography) through the use of 21st century technology. Smashing live video against classic vaudeville routines, it tells the stories of the famous--including Thomas Edison and Marie Curie--and unknown people for whom the X-ray raised more questions than it answered.

Chimera

Synopsis:
Welcome to the world of Jennifer Samuels, who has just discovered that she is her own twin. Inspired by a real-life horror story, Chimera takes you on a journey from the frontiers of modern science to the seeds of ancient mythology. Co-creators Deborah Stein and Suli Holum have launched a highly theatrical exploration of medical chimerism  the phenomenon of containing two different sets of DNA within one body  in order to explore what happens when technology shatters our ideas of who we think we are.
