Description

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. }
