Set to "Watch Me" and "Faceshopping" by trans musicians, Anohni and the late SOPHIE (respectively), this experimental video concoction is a mediatized rumination on the double-edged sword of [hyper]visibility (of queer and trans, disabled, PoC, etc. bodies) vs. the police surveillance state/the Panopticon (and its enmeshments with Christocentric white supremacy, ableism, #Academia, etc.) in the Zoom/COVID era--and possible Community interventions to burn all that shit down.

Rev. g (they/he) is a crip Corean transDisciplinary artist-activist + healer-abolitionist + scholar-masochist, who dreams of Queer Utopia and Access Intimacy. Sir Valence was spawned as a dragged embodiment of that which is most feared: the Panopticon. And ‘Watching U’ was conceived as a Community response to conquer it.
