Description
Work by T Braun and Marie Hinson (Hex.exe) selected for the Manifestations exhibition by curator Laurence Hill 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).
A series of screen grabs from the film Aggregate/Multitude Aggregate / which explores queer (dis)orientation and glitched embodiment through virtual reality, sound, writing and performance, seeking to open portals into multiplicity and collectivity. Colourful, undulating landscapes unfurl from procedurally shattered spheres, AI-generated organs, saturated glass textures, loops of poetry and surreal bits of architecture. By activating these sites with performance, collaborators T Braun and hexe.exe invite participants into the glitchy mediation of virtual technology as a way to examine their participation in reality itself. The textures of the virtual that slip from glitchy to perilous to euphoric offer richly affective gaps in our language for body and space that reveal the roiling flux of agency, individuality and collectivity.
