CIRCUMPLEX -
Engage Your Desires (2016)

Crafted as the Main Event for the Opening Gala of Filmgate Interactive conference in 2016, This project was a subversive event that portrayed itself as a sponsored corporate party, but was in fact much more.

In reality, it was an immersive experiential dystopian madhouse with projection of appropriated public information on the Internet, with costumed performers, drones, projection mapping, VR mischief, Subliminal messaging, eavesdropping hackers, militarized police clowns and more.

Think Timothy Leary (Leary’s Circumplex), Click-Bait, Privacy, Snowden, social media and the NSA.
