Title

D1G1TR@N: REVe/oLa/uTION video artwork

Description

Work created by artist Roibí O'Rua during an artist residency, for 'Full Stack Feminism in Digital Humanities', a project funded by the AHRC and the IRC, part of their ‘UK-Ireland Collaboration in the Digital Humanities Research Grants Call’  (grant numbers AH/W001667/1 and IRC/W001667/1).

This 2.5 minute animated video work features much of the imagery used in the print works ie the four 'horsegirls of the apocalypse' (famine, death, war and pestilence), the 'tranny' supreme and the three Trangender muses. It also highlights some of the details from the prints such as the guillotine cock ring and the enforced feminisation of cishet men.

This video was generated using the 3D modeling software blendr and has a deliberately kitsch aesthetic and deeply glitched aesthetic that draws on hyperfeminine imagery and game design. It has a cpmposed soundtrack by the artist which incorporates games console start up sounds.
