02 Pussy Portal
Pussy Portal was an activation of the SEX FEST foyer area with an interactive projection installation.

“I welcome you to enter my Pussy Portal, a cyber-psychadelic explosion of orgasmic colour and motion. The projection installation is powered by live, experimental programming; a motion-sensing camera; and my personal collection of vintage pornography. The portal transports you to an alternate reality where all things pulsate in technicolour and pleasure reigns supreme. Pussy Portal is a kitschy and chaotic celebration of sexual fantasy and mess.”

03 Attraction/Repulsion
How can interactive art be used to engage audiences with the notion of sexual fluidity?

“Giant, iridescent blobs float through space, reacting to the participant’s gesture as they sit within the installation space. Amorphous until interacted with, the blobs are a metaphor for the ambiguous and ultimately unknowable nature of human sexuality, and our societal impulse to force this fluidity into categorical identity structures.”
