For Your (Un)safety and (Dis)comfort
5-CHANNEL VIDEO INSTALLATION
2026
in collaboration with Avena Jaramillo Rodríguez, Eunseo Hyun, Hyeji Keum, Ildiko Flipse, Inés Dominguez del Corral, Nuel van Gelder de Neufville, Raisa Riemens, Senka Milutinović
How can we lie to the lie detector? For Your (Un)safety and (Dis)comfort is a compilation of (un)safety videos as alternative video manuals of algorithmic lie detectors, re-imagined from queer and feminist approaches to technology.
Written, filmed, and edited with participants from backgrounds in acting, polygraphy, drag, programming, community work, and comedy, this installation presents our ongoing collaboration through participatory filmmaking as a method of research and resistance.
