Curated by Viv Qiu, and Venus in Foil

This room articulates the experience of becoming unhinged: exploring the ways unruly aesthetic experiences disrupt the borders of flesh and shake loose the psychic debris left by trauma. Here, the queer dynamics of raving offer the club as a site to sound out the affective afterlife of psychic injury.

This space summons queer affects through the voices, breath, and movements of queer people: the collective residues of trauma. Taipei-based sound artist Betty Apple weaves together samples of queer breath and voice to deconstruct and reconstruct Venus in Foil’s anthropological research of the rave space. Betty's soundscape is brought to life through IOR50's choreographed sculpture, whose movements represent an assemblage of queer bodies, sourced from motion capture data in their queer movement database.

Bodies Unhinge is a digital manifestation of queerness exceeding capture. Here, sound-waves and pixels articulate the unruly atmosphere of the rave, theorized by Venus in Foil, sounded out by Betty Apple, and danced by IOR50.

Betty Apple's soundscape plays on a 13 minute loop
