Lisson Gallery Artist Tishan Hsu and David Cronenberg to be Featured in Metrograph Screening Event
Metrograph presents a screening event on June 19, 2026, at the New Museum Theater in New York, featuring Tishan Hsu's emergent mesh (2025) alongside David Cronenberg's eXistenZ (1999). The program coincides with the New Museum’s exhibition New Humans: Memories of the Future. Hsu's real-time video, produced in a game engine, presents an unsettling landscape of abstracted textures animated by miniature screen-like shapes. Cronenberg's film follows a virtual reality game designer hunted by extremists who believe the game threatens reality itself.
The Signal
The event underscores institutional programming that pairs new media artworks with cinema to examine technology's reshaping of the body. For collectors and curators, the inclusion of Hsu's game-engine piece signals continued institutional validation of digital practices that treat flesh as a medium. The Metrograph-New Museum partnership illustrates how galleries and museums are expanding cross-disciplinary presentations in New York.
