]]> Coinciding with the Fall equinox and annual butterfly migration, Reynier Leyva Novo’s Methuselah launches to the public today! Accessible online, this digital artwork virtually reproduces the more than 6,000 mile migratory journey of a single monarch butterfly, tracking its travel from southern Canada across the United States to Mexico. Embodied through the life of a virtual avatar, the epic journey is hosted and reproduced in real time on a specially designed, open-access, dedicated website, where audiences can follow the transnational migratory journey.

To experience Methuselah in the galleries, mark your calendars! Methuselah will be featured in the special-engagement exhibition Juan Francisco Elso: Por América, organized by El Museo del Barrio and scheduled to open at PhxArt in May 2023.
