DREAMCATCHER is a performance art installation about freedom--of expression, of ambitions, of gender, of choices, of information, and hyper-identity (or genderless or 'formless' identity). Combining the different but connected practice of three artists, the interactive and participatory installation piece is a phygital artwork - exploring materiality (fabric and fashion), archives (physical and digital assets and models) and virtuality afforded by the internet and social media. The project is a cross-collaboration using food, fashion, dance and new media, emerging tech, photography, video and performance art.
