Where There’s Smoke

March to May 2023

The Where There’s Smoke project team will be in residence to test new technology that will be part of the exhibition and invite the community into their process by hosting playtests. Participants attending the playtests, March through May, provided feedback that allows Lance to refine the immersive nature of the story.

In Where There’s Smoke, storytelling pioneer Lance Weiler unravels the secrets of his enigmatic father — a volunteer firefighter and amateur fire scene photographer — and two devastating fires that struck the Weiler family.
