⚡Electric Apostles⚡

Electric Apostles is a video frieze depicting a tableau of performers, djs, dancers, and club goers from around the world in their embodied virtual reality avatars coming to life for a series of movements before returning to a state of rest. Set in an ancient futuristic landscape and to a backdrop of techno club music, viewers are immersed in a living monument of queer and transgender aesthetics. Inspired by the Villa of Mysteries in Pompeii and David Cannon Dashiell’s “Queer Mysteries” this living frieze evokes the activeness of history, calling to attention a world being developed in parallel and often unseen virtual reality spaces.

Set in Stone is a virtual archive of living monuments captured through 3D scanning technology and photographically documented, building a library for future sculptures and laying the foundation for a virtual landscape of monuments accessible online through video and Virtual Reality formats. This intervention of San Francisco’s monument collection draws on Drag, nightlife, dance, performance, and other hubs of queer community, centering the cultural legacy of San Francisco as a home for the LGBTQIA+ community and the building of queer institutional memory across generations.
 Monuments are often made as a reflection of a bygone past through the interpretation of an artist. Set in Stone builds a pathway for community members to represent themselves and would uplift the importance of Queer and Transgender history from the lived perspective.
Two young men with long, rippled jeans and white shirts are sitting on large, ancient stone formations in a desert-like landscape. One man is seated on smaller rocks and appears to be wiping his face, while the other sits on a rectangular stone, looking through binoculars. The background features a bright blue sky with stylized, white 3D text that says 'SET IN STONE'.
