Jamie & Jamie VR

Venice Biennale College Cinema VR Workshop 2020- Official selection

In the surreal VR-comedy “Jamie & Jamie” participants are invited to reconsider power relations in everyday life. In Western culture, expanded gender politics have been a flourishing agency of female and LGBTQ art practices since the early seventies. However, subject matters such as inequality and invisible work in the household still carries urgent actuality.

As gender-neutral avatars, the participants are subjected to the perpetual tyranny of a ruthless washing machine. The challenge of the game is to turn their competition into collective victory over the machine's domination. The piece will be exhibited in public and online spaces to reach a wider audience even in times of pandemics.
