Sir Valence Presents: Watching U
Log into the hellish Zoomscape of drag dæmon, Sir Valence, and their concussed/concursed post-police brutality exorcism of the masks we wear and the selves we’ve sold to surveillance capitalism. { 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. }
Ordinary
"We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are." - Anaïs Nin. In a personal, experimental essay, Ordinary asks the question, "Have your eyes really seen (me?)."
