Julia Stoschek Foundation “What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem”—Lead Technical Director

︎ March 2026: Variety Arts Theater, Los Angeles With over 45 bespoke pieces of fine art, the challenge was coordination and timing. Each piece presented unique challenges from projector mounting, analog sync, and in one case restoration of a Windows 98 PC and sourcing a long forgetten copy of Flash Player from the depths of the internet.

“What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem,” edited by Udo Kittelmann, is a sweeping odyssey into the depths of human experience, unfolding through film and video. Marking the first major presentation of works from the Julia Stoschek Foundation in the U.S., this audiovisual poem experiments with time-based media by placing contemporary video works in dialogue with silent films and early cinema classics. For the first time, a large-scale exhibition bridges these two universes, creating an unprecedented encounter across more than a century of visual storytelling.
