A fringe therapist takes the world by storm with a galaxy-brained new approach to self-help called the Jackman Method. Through immersive sessions, he transforms wayward young men into semi-employable outsider artists—all from the comfort of his posh home office in New York City. When an unhinged ex-patient returns to his care and is chosen to headline the practice’s first ever cabaret night, the fallout is immense. Diva behavior, grueling rehearsals, and public scandal threaten to destroy not only the show but the Jackman Method itself.

NRA semi-biographical fiction inspired by his father’s work at one of Kodak’s first processing labs, Wilson’s speculative gloss on the evolution of photochemical science entwines multiple perspectives and personas. Co-written by James N. Kienitz Wilkins, Kodak imagines a dialogue between a blind, mentally unstable former film technician and George Eastman himself, recordings of whom play out over a procession of photographs, home video footage, vintage Kodak ads, and animations.

NRThe Uncertainty Seminars abstract corporate aesthetics across several sections, conflating modes of address from avant-garde cinema and video art with contemporary therapeutic and motivational techniques. The techniques involved address forms of uncertainty in personal, professional, and civil life.

NRIn 2010 the physicist Aaron O’Connell and his colleagues proved that a strip of metal, visible to the naked human eye, can both oscillate and not oscillate at the same time. Essentially this means that objects, whatever their size, can be in two places at once. From here it starts to seem like existing means being inconsistent, while dying means becoming consistent.

NRWhat happens inside a Poké Ball with space and time? This is one of several questions we face in a tale told in amphetamine-fuelled voice-over. The repeated act of zooming into a multi-purpose residential skyscraper breaks open modern family domestics to reveal increasingly bizarre tableaux. A papier-mâché Pikachu stares ahead, knowing all the answers.

NRThe first section employs a 75mm to 1500mm Canon telephoto lens developed for wildlife cinematography. This uncannily prolonged zoom moves from a cityscape view to details on a single balcony of Chicago's Marina City. The second section employs 8K photorealistic computer generated materials commonly used in architectural renders, video games, and the motion picture industry. The third section was procedurally generated using fractal software developed by the computer engineer Code Parade. Wilson worked with Code Parade to customize his programme towards heightened cinematic realism and render what look like infinite synthetic 3D landscapes constructed for something other than the human body.
