Drawing from science fiction, religious iconography, and late-20th-century cinema and television, PsyFi* examines how storytelling, imagery, media, and culture shape our understanding of experiences beyond language, logic, or proof, further collapsing the boundaries between image, cinema and performance.

The film features rapper JT, Ben Ahlers, Miles Greenberg, Moses Sumney, and Sophia Lamar, among others. It was commissioned by Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger | KBH.G Basel, Switzerland, where it was first presented as part of the exhibition Extrasensory.

The New York premiere of PsyFi* marks a turning point in Wise’s artistic career, extending the lineage of performance through a new film that draws on the visual languages, theatricality, and mass-cultural codes of popular culture.
