(CW: This work contains sensitive content.)
BRANDON derives its title from Brandon/Teena Brandon of Nebraska, USA, agender-crossing individual who was raped and murdered in 1993 after his female anatomy was revealed. Cheang's project deploys Brandon into cyberspace through multi-layered narratives and images whose trajectory leads to issues of crime and punishment in the cross-section between real and virtual space.
(BRANDON is a live operational piece of 'Internet art', that is designed to be interactive. The video below is a video navigation of the artwork. To experience the work in its intentional form please click here.)
