Passing


Passing
Factory Media Centre
August 2024

During their residency at Factory Media Centre Ardyn explored what it means to exist as a visibly queer person in spaces through the use of various digital new media technologies including Projection Mapping, 3D rendered animations and AR (Augmented Reality) activations. Ardyn reimagined space through a queer futurist lens while exploring the concept of passing as a double meaning. What does it mean to pass through space; thus, passing through states of being, occupying space where the disruption of the work becomes inevitatble. The audience is welcomed to take up space and interact with queer objects, longings and desires.
