Both Sides Now 8: Queer Realities/Virtualities | Subtitled | 65mins | Rated 15
Both Sides Now 8 explores both real and virtual Queer spaces, with moving image works by international artists and filmmakers, including Kit Griffiths, Bassam Issa, Liao Jiaming 廖家明, P1nk Poodle, SU Hui-Yu 蘇匯宇, WANG Jun-Jieh 王俊傑, Megan Watson, Robert Yang.
The films presented resonate between the fantastical, material, theoretical and playful. Where artists are exploring real and virtual spaces, creating and queering reality and virtuality. Using videogames, CGI, post-digital performance, and film, artists have made work exploring desire, death, cyberspace, passion and exorcism.
